I recently bought aftermarket window sweep kit for inside and outside. The outer were straight forward as they use the little screws into the door.
The inside are attached to the door panel and are attached using monster staples. Any ideas on how to attach these? they go through the galvanized metal. if the dew sweeps weren't so dry rotted and shot I wouldn't change them but they are gone...
 
I've done these before where I drilled small holes thru the window sweep and upper door panel edge and pushed the staples thru the holes, then crimp them with pliers. Should already be pre-punched holes in the sweep. I remember holding the sweep in place with a vice grip on each edge as I drilled
 
A couple of write-ups on this:
I drilled & used aluminum pop-rivets (would probably use plastic ones if I redid it, I can see the alum & the plastic are black)
another member used craft-wire
If you don't get 'em snug they will rattle/squeak & drive you bat-sh!t crazy :confused:
While I had the door panel off I put nut-certs in the door-strap mounting holes :)
