Default 1980 weatherstrip install

I have the 9pc weatherstrip kit from Willcox corvette (Thanks, looks like good quality) and I would like to install all the components except for the T-Top weatherstripping this weekend. I may be getting new T-Tops, so I don't want to install them on this set just yet.

I a newbie and I want to take it one step at a time. What piece should I install first? Basically what is the easiest piece to install?

any pics out there of this install?

Thanks,

Rob

I dont have any install pictures but on my 77 none of the weatherstripping was too hard to install as long as you follow the manufacturer of the adhesive's instructions. I used the 3M brand #08008 in the black. Lots of folks use the yellow for originallity. I would guess in my opinion the door weatherstrips take longer because of their length.
