Default Rubbing strips on the doors

Does anyone know if the rubbing strips on the doors are glued or pinned on?

I know the ones in the bumpers are pinned, but the white WRC Octavias don't seem to have door rubbing strips so I'm thinking that they may just be glued....

The black horizontal plastic thingies in the middle of the doors.

They are glued/taped on but there's an indentation in the meatl underneath (as displayed on base model Octys)
