Staple gun needed

This window felt kit came with these individual staples. Does anyone know what stapler will work with these or if there is a trick to installing them without a stapler.

I believe you insert them and then bend the ends with pliers to tighten.
Some just use small SS philips head screws in stead.

Somewhere back in the recesses of an overloaded memory I seem to remember a special pair of pliers to do this. However that could be unreliable information. LOL
 
You reuse the original holes in the door, drill mating holes in the window felt, insert the staples and bend them over by hand using small vise grips. Not a fun job....

You can also use pop rivets but it won’t look original.

I am not aware of any stapler that can drive staples like that through metal.

I've done both methods listed here, so I guess no wrong answer.;) Can't name a stapler either, you probably wouldn't want to pay for it for that use only if I could. Smallest rivets are easier than trying to hand insert & bend those staples.
 
I've used this method and it works very good and produces a snug staple fold. Get two pair of small needle nose pliers. After inserting the staple into the holes and seated, use one plier to hold a leg at the staple/rubber junction. This will keep the staple leg from pulling out due to the force used when the other side is folded. Then fold the opposite side. Once done, you can fold the other side.
