Attaching rear bumper seal '54 Ranch Wagon

[51504bat]

Getting ready to install the rear bumper on my Ranch Wagon. It never had a seal attached to the body. The replacement seal came with 6 clips but I have not clue as how to proceed. Attached are photos of the clips, the seal, and where it attaches to the body. Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA

Did you try this? Also you might want to blue tape to test fit so you don't chip too much paint.
Or flip 180 to get the rubber on the top.

Originally these are probably stapled into the metal.

Thanks, Abe. Don't know where you got the diagram or if you drew it yourself but its excellent and makes it very clear what I need to do. A buddy is coming tomorrow to help install the seal and bumper. Pictures of the finished product after the install if all goes as it should.

Ended up screwing the seal in place. The clips didn't seem like they would hold it in place over the long run. Not sure if it was really necessary but it's in and the bumper is on.

Cool. Great job. Originally they had a super metal staple.
