Here is a longwinded answer to your short question. I received a lot of help from other 'Bolters to install fuzzies and rubber in the window openings of my '54.
There are five pieces to the window weather strip. I bought mine from the Truck Shop and I am pleased with the result.
> UPPER FELT RUN - fuzzy (part of kit shown in upper left corner of page)
> INNER WIPES - fuzzy (part of kit and also shown in second illustration, first column of page)
> OUTER WIPES - rubber (part of kit)
> VENT WINDOW SEALS - rubber two pieces (shown in upper left corner of page)
> ALSO ... RIVETS AND SETTING TOOL needed to reinstall the vent window frame and to attach the straight vent window seal to the division bar. (shown in second column of page)
> DIVISION BAR INSERTS - fuzzy (part of kit and also shown in third illustration, first column of page)
I believe that the
UPPER FELT RUN was originally held by clips that screwed into the opening in the door. The felt run was pressed into the clips. Clips were included in the kit from The Truck Shop, but I didn't know what they were, so I attached the run to the window with

INNER WIPES were originally attached to the interior garnish with staples. Staples are included in the kit from The Truck Shop. I used the staples. Some 'Bolters use screws or pop rivets, or trim adhesive. The Truck Shop may be the only supplier that sells the inner wipes with the correct bend on the end (?)

OUTER WIPES slide into a track in the door on the outer side of the window. I lubed the track with dishwashing soap.
The
VENT WINDOW SEALS are in two pieces. The pivot rivet that holds the vent window to the frame must be drilled out and the window removed. Use rivets and a rivet setting tool to rivet the straight rubber piece to the division bar. I clamped a piece of aluminum plate into my vice and sat the plate into the channel of the division bar to back up the rivets as pounded them home. Pad the plate with a few layers of painters tape to avoid scratching the paint on the division bar. Do this before you install the division bar fuzzy insert. The curved rubber seal presses into place. A little dish washing liquid makes it easier. Finally reattach the vent window with a pivot rivet and setting tool. I used the same aluminum plate to back up the rivet.

DIVISION BAR INSERTS press into the division bar. A clip on the bottom of the bar secures the insert; friction does the rest.
