Hi, Kevin:
62 Chev Impala top rails are same as Pontiac, Olds, Buick etc.
I'm where you are now with my 62 Catalina. Decided not to use the nails as the old ones were in terrible shape on my doors as were the plastic deals that the nails pushed in to..
I'm going with velcro at the leading and rear edge of the doors. I have the velcro on the door panels but have not put stuck it on the door shells yet because I have had the panels off and on at least a dozen times as I had to cut all my holes for the door, window and vent cranks. When I think I've finally have everything fit where I want it I will add the velcro to the newly painted door shells. As you know there are 4 trim screws along the bottom of the door panel o that will take care of that area.
Velcro may pi_ _ off the purists out there, but it was recommended to me by guy who made and installed my seat covers and that was the same guy who does Tieman's work up in Grand Rapids, MI. Good enough for Tieman, sould be good enough for me.
Jerry
