I don't know if this helps or not. Here is a pic of my splash apron/inner fender seal.  I have three more pics but can't get them to download.

Yeah, I got them all on except for the 2 short thin ones that I cannot figure where they go. I usually take phone pics b4 taking stuff apart, but neglected to being I figured it was a simple task. See the 2 narrow ones in the photo. The longer RH one goes along the upper edge of inner fender and seals against the inside of the actual fender. The shorter one on the left still has me stumped.

Do those go between the splash panel (inner fender) and the (outer) fender?

Terry;  Hugh probably explained to you why the other 3 pics wouldn't post, but I'll explain for others as well...there is a 4 pic max with a total of 4K mb per post. Your pics, if they were all the size of the one you posted, were too big to post more than one. Hugh downsized your pics. Notice your new size as Hugh posted now total under the 4k I mentioned.
Thanks Terry and Hugh

It wasn't that I couldn't get them to post, I couldn't get them to download to even attempt to post them. lol However, that would have been the next problem.

I used a 1/16" drill bit to make the holes in the panel.  Then I used the supplied staples to secure the rubber.  I should add that, I also drilled the seals to insert the staples.

I have that issue as well........I hate the "new" Microsoft11. In fact, it isn't so much that I can't download my pics as it is that I can't find them after I think probably been downloaded. Hate my new I phone 16 also......everything is so much more difficult than the old I phone 7 I had. Probably an old age thing with me.

First problem is having an I-Phone. There is a reason why so many use Androids instead.

As for the pic saving...I have discovered that I need to be real sure that I have them directed to go to a folder I selected before I save...as the 11 will save them where it thinks they need to go. Can definitely be a pain. Takes time to get used to the new ways. And I...do NOT like change!  >:(

I am so sorry this took me so long.  I had some other stuff come up and life sometimes gets in the way.  In any case, here are the photos of what I did.  This took me over 2 days to do.  I used stainless steel welding rod to make the staples and that was a pain.  The factory obviously was not building show cars since I have two wagons, the one I am working on and a parts car and both had staples in different places and one had more than the other one.  I am going to load the photos with an explanation of where they are located.

more photos of the inner fender weatherstripping.  I used weatherstripping adhesive between the rubber and the inner fender after I stapled them.  I hope these photos help.
