Weatherstrip install - glue, adhesive?

That's my project for next weekend. The new weatherstrips are on order. Mine did have adhesive from the factory. Looks to be the same as was on the trunk. On my 70 Swinger the only places they had adhesive was on the molded end where it attaches to the body up front in the door jam, in the curve where the A pillar meets the roof and in the curve above the quarter glass. I'd have to look but I seem to recall there may have also been a dollop on the very rear end of the weather strip to keep it in place. I'm guessing those areas tended to come loose because of the curve.

There was also a non-hardening seam sealer applied to the two joints of the corner piece at the A pillar and roof. It's under the foam strip that is sandwiched between the stainless molding and the body. It's the basic consistency and look of gray plumbers putty.

If you haven't removed the stainless molding that the rubber seal pops into then you don't have to worry about it.
