What adhesive should I use for a door seal?

The rubber door seal on the passenger door of my 2018 Seat Ateca is coming away from the door. Do you have any idea what fixative is used and if not can you recommend a suitable glue to carry out the repair?

Answered by David Ross

We would recommend using a specialist product such as 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive, as it is designed specifically to bond rubber to metal surfaces. It is waterproof and flexible, which is essential as the rubber seals will naturally flex and move as the door is used.
