If you want just enough adhesion to hold a rubber strip in place and

It's a door seal which will have considerable pressure on it.

What is needed is more mastic than glue in this case. Just enough to
stop it all falling off.

Nothing like good enough.

Oh? so you are the OP are you?

And know what he wants better than he does?

Most of these 'rubber in groove or groove in rubber' things are designed
to not need glue at all.

They normally need just a tack to stop them falling out, as by and large
when closed, they are under pressure anyway.

Using a low tack sealer works to (just) hold them in place, but not
enough so they cant be ever removed again.

I often use hot glue in cases like that. It will glue plastic to things,
but only just enough ..you can peel it off the plastic again. Acrylics
are good, but silicone is a bugger. Very messy.
