Door Trim / Trunk Trim - Which Type Where?

Door Trim / Trunk Trim - Which Type Where?
So there are two types of weather trim that I have for the car.
One is a thin, tampered type with a groove fitting along the entire length.
The other is a squared block type without any groove.
Which type goes where?
Does the thin type go into the door grooves ( as I suspect )?
And the thick squared type around the trunk?
( Forgot the British term for trunk... mea culpa ...)
And what direction does each go in?
Should I adhere with 3M black trim adhesive? Or go commando?
One complete trim all the way around?
Or cut into sections
Thank for teaching me!
I'm very motivated to get this project completed since I've come to Jaguar Forums!

The left hand picture shows the boot/trunk weatherstrip. It normally comes in two pieces with the open part of the C toward the outside of the boot/trunk opening to allow water to escape away from the opening. I do not recognise the other trim seals. I know there are many after market seals - I have fitted a simple figure of 8 seal with a rip off seal at the base of the 8, if you know what I mean. I am told this can be used at the boot/trunk also.

Two pieces?
So am I missing a piece?
When placing in the trim area, does the C shape face upward, towards the inside of the boot/Trunk, or towards the outside of the car?

A properly made door seal mostly uses lengths of extruded rubber, but should have moulded sections put in just about where the door panel and window chrome meet as there is a sharp bend in the seal. Just buying generic sealing strip may not work very well.
As I recall, (and it is a long time ago when I had a Mark 2), the boot seal pushes onto the boot aperture lip, and the door seals are glued into the channels made for them. To do a proper job, the doors really do need to be taken off as they were when the car was assembled at the factory.
Incidentally, if you're thinking of refurbing the internal wood trim, the cant-rail 'hockeystick' and other pieces around the side windows are all held by little screws that enter via the door seal channel, so leave off this job until you've done the woodwork !

I had the interior trim pieces out yesterday!
I saw the screw holes you mention in the door seal channel.
So my question:
What type of screw?
(Brass? Wood?)
What size and length?
Thank you all! The project is moving forward! More this past week than ever before!

As I recall, the securing screws for the wood trim were about 1/2" long, maybe 5/8", and the head was a pan-head. This is flat as it needs to be to ensure the rubber seal on top of it sits correctly. Mine were steel, and may have been cadmium plated, but I can't remember.
Thinking about it, I think the cant-rail trims including the "hockey stick" and the front A pillar trim is secured with screws via the door seal channel. As I recall there are 26 separate pieces of wood in the car.

So I went out and bought Number 4 1/2 inch brass flat head screws.
I used a piece from the batch of interior pieces that came with the car.
We matched up size and length at the hardware store.
Going to start on the interior pieces next week.
PLEASE comment and give guidance.
I have a full carton of these parts and am requesting help to get them all on in the correct order and correct places.
THANK YOU!

Get a big white sheet out and photograph them in their spatial relationship. It should add up to about 26 pieces.
So: -
- Instrument panel (LH side on yours) 1
- glove box panel 1
- glove box lid 1
- dash rail below windscreen 1
- front door trims 2
- front door trim cappings 2
-B-post trims 2
- B-post trim cappings 2
- A post trims 2
- rear door trims 2
- rear door trim cappings 2
- front cant rail trims 2
- rear cant rail trims (hockey sticks) 2
- front headlining capping strips 2
- interior light plinths 2
I make that 26
The two in your photograph are the trims for the B-pillar at waist height and match the door trim profiles.
