A thin open-celled foam strip goes on the car, then the three piece drip rail moldings as shown in your picture attach with 5 or 6 flat surfaced Phillips head screws.

Then the weather-strip channel gets a more closed-cell foam strip adhered to it then mounts under the stainless drip rail moldings with about 13-14 screws per side....

Sorry no real pictures of this process...
