What adhesive should I use?

I need to attach the on cab door seals. I have the seals but not the adhesive. Is there a special type I should use? Also, I blasted my doors and got rid of all that factory black crap that holds on the plastic underneath the door panel. Where do I get that stuff or what should I use in replacement?

3m adhesive in a orange tube much like a tooth paste tube
the black stuff was used from what i guess to hold the wind barrier to the door, you could use the 3m there as well

The black gooey stuff attaching the water shields to the door is equivalent to 3M strip caulk. A box of that stuff will last for years.

The yellow stuff (or black if you prefer) is contact cement - get the 3M stuff. Follow the directions to the nth degree and you'll be rewarded with it never falling off. Apply to BOTH surfaces, let it fully tack, and then guide it on... you get one shot.

Super weatherstrip adhesive, not just weatherstrip adhesive. Sounds stupid, but BIG difference. 3M is the best I've used.
