I installed the weatherstripping to the vent window frame in this order, using lots of lube:
Bottom first:
Then front edge:
Then top:
Then the back edge:
Screwed on the top:
Then tightened the nuts/spacers/washers on the bottom:
The hardest part is getting the bottom rubber to snap into that channel. It is a huge PIA.
A few years back, when I finally installed interior door panels, I used wax paper as a "water shield". The wax paper worked great. Where I messed up, I used 3M weatherstripping adhesive to glue it to the door panels. Big mistake. That stuff is a PIA to get off of anything!!!!!!!!!!

That stuff is expensive, about $25 for that can, and is very strong smelling, but it works. I would dampen a rag with some remover, rub it on the glue, the glue would soften, and start coming off. After about 1/2 hour on each door:
