I used contact adhesive once and it went off before I got them all the way in.So this time I used sicka flex.Much easier just run a bead round the door channel put in the rubber then shut the door and leave over night.Never had a problem in 4 years.Hope that helps. Gary

dirty hands wrote:supa cheap had on its shelves a specific dorr rubber adhesive its black in a tube and i used it with some doubt but it sure did the job and left no yellow lines it seemed to blend in with the black rubber bits

sorry dont remeber the exact name of the glue

Autobarn had this stuff too. Its like contact cement but black and its called weather strip adhesive.
