I purchased a bunch of weatherstrip at one time some years ago and am just now getting to the doors. I found this package without any label or part number on it. So, I took photos for help in identifying it. The weatherstrip looks like there is enough to do the leading edge of both doors in between the hinges. But I really do not know where it is supposed to be installed either.
Did not see weatherstrip in the index of the Service Bulletins (did find cowl weatherstrip p377), Ford Service manual, nor Model T Ford Owner.
Looks like to me, the forum says that, originally, Model Ts did not have weatherstrip on the doors.

Re: Weatherstrip doors - what am I doing?
I don't think the open cars used any weatherstrip on the doors. The late open cars had some rubber parts around the windshield and the gas filler lid on the cowl. There were some small rubber bumpers at the upper rear of the doors near the latch. The closed cars may have had door weather stripping and some was probably used around the windows.

That rubber strip look like the piece that go in the bottom of the lower half of the 1926/2927 open cars windshield frame. It gives a seal between the cowel and the windshield frame. It would be inserted in the bottom of the frame starting at the small round hole at the beginning of the slot.
