Anyone have any advice on re-mounting a new window sweep on the door skins?

It is currently stapled on with monster staples.  71Shark and I thought a small rivet with a washer would be the best way to attach the new ones.  They don't come with staples, instructions or holes that would give you a clue.

This isn't an NCRS type install so any ideas/thoughts or things that have worked are most welcome!

Thanks,

You can buy a clip of the staples from some of the vendors, about $5(plus shippingAngry). Bend them over by hand. Use the old sweep as a template to poke holes in the new one to line up with the holes in the old(?) door panel. But the rivets should work, too.

Sorry, but I have to ask, what is a window sweep?
Is it like a chimney sweep?Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing
 
Or does it wipe the winder clean when she goes down?
