Weatherstrip Adhesive

Is there some kind of glue or something I can use to keep my door weatherstrip up? I took one out of a used truck because I didn't have one at all and I've used a all around spray glue and it keeps fallin back down. The weatherstrip is in good shape just won't stay up. Thanks for the help guys!

3M makes a Weatherstrip Adhesive - traditionally yellow; also comes in black - any auto parts store should carry it. It's in a metal tube about the size of a toothpaste tube.

I used yellow but I don't think it would really matter.
This is exactly what I used and this is even where I bought it.

Thanks for this info, I have to put weatherstripping in my flatbed in a couple weeks, and I was wondering what kind I needed

I've been using the same stuff for years and it holds-up pretty good. You have to remember to let it sit awhile and tack-up before you put the two sides together otherwise you're just wasting your time.

Used both the black and yellow gorilla snot , both worked good
I like to use some spring clamps to hold the rubber to the pinch weld while the glue sets, seems to hold it place pretty good
