Default What's the black adhesive used on the plastic sheet inside the door cover?

What's the black adhesive used to stick the plastic sheet for the door cover, and where can I buy one? I changed my door actuator on my car, and the plastic cover sheet isn't really sticking back on.

I'm posting on here so maybe I can get a few people to chime in if they ever worked on their car, along with some wealth of knowledge. I got a few people telling me different materials, so I was hoping if I can get a real answer on what Lexus the manufacturer really uses for their OEM paste.

yes, that's it. In a jam, black roofing caulking will do, That sheet acts as water barrier to deflect the water into drain holes below the doors. I used the caulking whenever I had to replace the windows regulators on my e46, which was often.It was messy to re-do, but cheap and foolproof.
