Adhesive for door and Frunk seals?

[TargaWayne]

As the title says. What adhesives do people recommend for sticking in Door and Frunk seals?

Good old Evostick, or any contact adhesive

And there’s a knack to fitting them that’s best delivered with two people if at all possible

I've struggled with the normal Evostick as it's so thick. Maybe heating it may have helped. Last time I did it I used contact adhesive in an aerosol. Plenty of masking up before spraying the shell. Then for applying to the seal I sprayed the glue into the can top and painted on with a paint brush.

For door and boot seals that fit into a channel do the glue wet on one side, usually its dry on both

For the sunroof seals I’m fitting I did some research and found many people has previously used and recommended weatherstrip adhesive, however that may be because the sunroof seals are felt rather than rubber. It does say waterproof and makes a strong bond and works on rubber as well as metal.

3M make a glue specialty for this purpose, don`t use JB Weld for rubber.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I normally wait till both sides dry and struggle to get them in.
