Door seal and interior panel questions

I'm working on my 86 coupe. The door seals on the body (ie door cavity) are torn and directing water onto the floor instead of towards the outside. The old seals are out and look like they were glued in with some type of silicone. Perhaps it's weatherstrip adhesive. What's an easy way to remove the old glue?

I've tried scraping it, applying heat with a heat gun and various solvents that are around the shop. Nothing has really worked.

Next question? There is another seal that is also on the body that goes up the a-pillar, along the top and down the b-pillar. I may as well change those because mine are old dried up and cracked. Are they simply glued to the body or is there a channel that holds them?

Is it easier to install either this seal or the door seal first or does it matter?

Finally, the interior side pieces behind the b-pillar could use work or refurbishing. Are they glued in or held some other way? I don't want to break old brittle pieces if it can be helped.
