Re: My weatherstripping experience..
Best way I found for the glue on ones is start at the top, only do about a foot to start with. Put the glue on the weatherstrip only. Push it into place and pull it away slightly, push it on again and pull it away again. Keep doing that. Each time you'll make a better bond and squeeze out the air and establish glue strings between the seal and the door. Slowly it will start to stick into place. Keep working it till it won't pull away easily. Let it sit awhile and squeeze it on and off again. When the seal will hang without pulling off due to it's own weight then do another foot. You'll get faster at it and each door will take 3 hours or more but it'll never fall off.
Another tip is take the seals outta the box and lay them out in the hot sun for an afternoon. Softens them up. Makes them less kinky and easier to work with.
