Originally that weatherstrip piece was glued to a metal strip which was rivetted to the no-name piece. I guess it was difficult to glue because Steele now makes that weatherstrip with an imbedded piece of metal, but the metal is visible in three locations as shown in the picture. I sprayed it with flat black paint. The holes are predrilled for 1/8 rivets, but the normal rivets are too long so I had to cut them down. They hold the vertical weatherstrip just fine and I was able to close the vent wing with a tight seal and no interference from the rivets
