This bare vinyl edge is glued to the pillar using a brush on upholstery glue. Use clamps to hold in place until the glue sets then stretch tight and do the other side.

So...glue foam to vinyl. Then glue edge (only) of vinyl to B Pillar. I say this because an unmolested B pillar aluminum only has glue residue on the back side edge of the aluminum.
