Default Car door bumper strip adhesive

3M weather strip adhesive. Get the yellow, not the black. Put it on
liberally, press the strip into place, then pull it back off for 2 or 3
minutes. THEN stick it on, but make sure you have it where you want it
because it's not going to move ever again. Clean up with brake cleaner and
re-wax the finish.

Hello,

The bumper strip on one of my car doors has lost its adhesive
and won't stick any more. What do repair shops use to attach
them? The strip itself is flexible rubber with a flat back.
The grove in the door for the strip has a few holes near each
end, but the strip has nothing matching the holes. The entire
inside of the bumper strip is rather sticky and apparently was
just stuck on the door. I'd like to clean up the strip and
apply some new adhesive to fix it. I've just not found
anything suitable in the local auto parts store.

Thank you in advance,

David
