need help for interior rubber

I just got some interior rubber parts from Classic Heartbeat, but have questions on how to install. First off, I got the two rubber bumpers for the ashtray and two for the glovebox, but I cant tell which is which. Two are kind of flat and two are kind of pointy.

Next, I got rubber weatherstripping for the doors. Each one is a long strip, with one sharp 90 degree bend. Where does the 90 degree bend fit? What is a good glue to use? How should I prep the paint before I glue? The interior is temporarily painted with rattle can primer covered by rattle can shiny - but "temporary" could be another 5 years. I'm hoping the weatherstripping will keep the doors a little tighter and reduce some of the rattling, so don't want to wait years until I do a final paint on the cab before installing to rubber.

I'd call Wes at Classic Heartbeat, but I think he's on vacation and just has someone helping him with shipments.

Thanks for the help.

What leddzepp said and the 90 degree bend goes in the corner at the top of the door opening before it bends down along windshield. I used 3M yellow adhesive to glue mine in.

3-m yellow works fine...but you're not getting it back off without destroying the rubber and paint...maybe look into the push on stuff like GMC Paul and others sell...think it may be a later dodge part

Re: need help for interior rubber

Thanks for the info. With the window rubber corner at the A pillar, the ends will meet under the door sill, correct?

Any ideas on a less permanent glue then 3m yellow? I've already bought the rubber, so will be using what I've got.

Thanks!
