==Staples, explained== Nissan used tiny staples when they assembled these trims. The original staples are only 2 or 3mm. I was unable to find any staples that small, I was told time and time again that they don't come any smaller than 6mm. I didn't discover this until AFTER I'd taken everything apart! So to solve the problem, I cut up a heap of corrugated cardboard into little rectangles, and used them as spacers. The spacers aren't important on the top section of the door which sits under the vinyl capping, but if you don't use spacers when stapling the fabric from behind, the staples will poke through and stab your passengers (and yourself) and little holes will start opening up where the staples poke through. There is a bit of trial and error involved, I had to use 3 cardboard spacers for each staple, any less than 3, and the staples still poked through. The amount of spacers you will need will depend on how thick your cardboard is.
