Default Need good glue

This thing keeps coming off my door. I tried using epoxy before, it stayed for about a week and then came off some how. Is there a product I could use to fix this?

nahh i think thats the little rubber stripping on the door. mine was falling apart too. go to autozone, it'll be a little squeeze tube, i wanna say it was silver and blue and its a specific adhesive for rubber.

its a small tube, but its like 2 bucks i think so grab a couple. I used it about a month and a half ago and its still holding.

Pretty much nothing is going to hold it very well. You can either replace it as stated above, not very difficult. Or, I would just cut it off where it's at because it's going to keep ripping further and further.

Both my drivers and passenger doors were doing the same thing and I just replaced the molding/gap filler with new ones. Being the type of material it is, I dont think glue would do that great and over time would end up in the same shape. Spend the 30$ and get new.

Got to watch those automated car washes as those brushes will peel those moldings.. I am fortunate not to have the peeling moldings on my 98.

Mine was doing the same thing for a long time on my passenger side. I replaced it about a year ago and all was good. I looked the other day and it's starting again. After close inspection I noticed that the lower body panel that the strip hooks into is "slightly" warped where it flares out ever so slightly towards the corner of the back of the front door. When I go to carwashes it probably catches this tiny lip and over time starts ripping this rubber seal. When I get some side skirts I'll probably wind up having the body shop slightly grind the flared edge down and repaint along with the new side skirts. I will also replace this rubber strip with a new one and it will probably never happen again. BTW, my driver side door is not like this at all = no problems.

Hmm, I'll just get a new one I guess. Where can I find one and it should be easy to replace, right?
