It may have screws and adhesive.  AIM will show the installation.

At least some of them were riveted on.  A local restorer squeezes the rivets to make them narrow enough to pull the old stuff off, then  files enough to fit the new one over (it has a slot), and glues it on.  He uses masking tape to keep it tight until the glue dries.

I did mine a few years back. The old ones were dried out and came of easily. Mine had one rivet in each side. I used my Dremel tool to grind the old rivets out. I simply glued the new strips in place with 3M weatherstrip adhesive. I held them in place with masking tape.
