Personally, I clear and polish then paint the rubbers then decal. If you do the rubbers then clear, they become clear as well. Plus if you get some overage while painting them, you can polish it off the clear pretty easily.

You should do after clearcoating. The frames of the windows are usually semigloss, and in the real cars they aren't under the varnish. You can mask with barefoil, works very well
