Theres a couple of small screws and a bunch of wetherstripping glue holding it on.

Make sure that you purchase some 3M weatherstripping glue prior to installation.
Also, make sure you get it ligned up perfectly before permanently attaching it to the car. If not, your targa top will have a hard time sealing. (Trust me, I know)

my weather stip came with 4 pieces of double sided tape attached. Is that enough to do the job?
