Can anyone tell me how these clips and staples attach the fuzz strips to the door?

I didn't feel like screwing with stapling it so I mounted mine to the window frame with 3m double sided tape. Worked great and has held for years.

the staples are just that i think your supposed to line the felt up and drill small holes to insert them and bend them over. a real pain
I did upholstery and trim for 20 plus years and have put many on by drilling and using 1/8 pop rivets and painting them black
the clips are for the glass surround weather strip

I used very small screws after drilling a 5/64 bit. Hit the head of the screw with a sharpie to blend it in. Staples seemed like a pain so did not want to do that
