Hello all,

New owner and my first post!

I've recently taken charge of a beautiful Dark blue Amazon 122s Sedan.

The interior is in need of some TLC so I've ordered new seat covers, door cards and rear panel covers. The rear panel covers arrived yesterday so I was up at the crack of dawn getting set to fit them, but I have a problem!. The original cover is stretched and secured from behind using a really small staple (2mm leg), the staples in my gun have a 10mm leg!! the surface board is only about 3mm thick so obviously 10mm is completely out of the question.

I've looked and looked but cannot find staples small enough anywhere! Can anyone help me locate such staples or perhaps offer an alternative method of stretching and securing the replacement cover. (I tried double sided but it was hopeless)
