Default newbie window seal question

Hey,
I am new to the forum and i think it's great! I have a 76 vette project that i am chipping away at. I bought new door window seals and i was wondering what adhesive was best to use to install them. There is a screw at each end but there was adhesive on the old ones also.

any help would be great.

Thank you

What are you calling a "seal"? Window fuzzies? Fuzzies should mount against the strainless trim with four (five, maybe) small screws. There may be something between them and the trim to seal out rain water.

Silicone, very small bead, just enough to seal and not squish out on the top side.
