The pic isn't too clear but I can identify most parts...

The small curved parts are to be glued to the bars themselves to provide support for the 'cutout' sectiones that are the rear part of the trim, behind the outer bar on each side.

The sloped plastic is to be attached to the leading edge where the soft-top release latch is, to push the roof away from the bars IF they rub (and if fitted properly, they shouldn't)

I can't quite see the oblong bits clearly, do they have a hole through them?

No they seem like spaces of some sort

Ah! That will be it then - they aren't needed at all, they were a fix for the V1 bars - I remember at the time wondering why David put them in the pack as he told us there and then they weren't necessary.

All finished, pleased with results, fairly easy to fix, no rubbing on roof, full 2" gap
