Recently leather seat Swapped my truck. Got some pleather material to match for the doors. I’m going to take the panels off and remove the cloth material and recover then with thin foam and the pleather that marches the seats. Been a while since door panels were off. im thinking the window strip in the door panel is stapled on? Would think I’d need to remove thst. How do you guys re attach that strip. Just a paper stapler?

I suspect construction is similar to 4th Gen F-bodies. Replacing all, or some specific staples in the inner window sweep (felt) is a strongly recommended PM task for those door panels. IIRC, I used diagonal pliers to cut the existing staples. IIRC, I replaced them with 4-40 machine screws, flat washer, and nylon locking nut. On that vehicle, the nuts do not get overly tightened to allow for some temperature expansion/contraction.
