    C1 Conv. Top - Tacks or Staples??

    Hi all,

    I am putting on a convertible top and staples seem pretty flimsey. Someone said that tacks were used instead of staples, hence the name TACK strip. Is this correct? If so, what kind of tacks? The head matters since whatever holds the rear weatherstrip can be seen.

    Thanks,

    Bob

      I suggest using staples with an electric staple gun. You can get different gague and length staples. I believe I got an Arrow stapler with an extended tip. Only way to go in my opinion. Also you can get stainless steel and monel staples for no rusting.
