Can anyone help me identify where these pieces from the weatherstrip kit are located on the car. My project car was partially disassembled when I found it and didn’t remove anything like these during tear down

I believe the long one is for the fender skirts. The other straight ones could be the rubber retainers for the door glass. Can't identify the curved one.
 
You may find your answer by checking one of the suppliers catalogs with a blown apart view. also the trim and sealer manual.
 
I could easily be wrong…but they look awfully close to the one I used for the chrome steering column hub where it meets the machined dashboard just below the steering column twist collar7EBFF075-0CF2-474F-A43F-8EB553EA588A.jpeg

I think the small, straight pieces glue to the door window vent and compress against the A pillar.
