Loose seal on door frame

    There is a rubber seal that is a bit loose on one of the rear door frames of the car. The rubber isn't on the door itself, but on the actual body of the car and the door closes up against it.

    It seems to just be glued in place. What type of glue can I use to secure this loose bit? It will be rubber sticking to metal.

    3-m weatherstrip adhesive.

    Make sure to claen the surfaces first

    Ebay but it all seems to be coming from the states so postage is expensive

    Ring local motorfactors, they may have it or similar adhesive.

    Would clear/ see through silicon work?

    I am going to do it. I'll post up pictures tomorrow, if it does not work out, the silicon can be peeled off.
