    Yank them out and replace. I assume you are talking about the anti rattle strips on the horizontal sill. They are supposed to mount with staples. In the kit is a very tiny drill bit, that usually breaks after 1 hole. I always glue them on with weatherstripping cement.

    From the build thread...

    When gluing on the anti rattle strips in the windows, put on the adhesive then brace against the window with a few pieces of cardboard and let it sit. They were origionally put on with staples, but I find that the holes never line up and drilling stainless with that small a bit is hopeless.
