The rear passenger door seal on my TD5 keeps working loose. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what I could use to stick it in place permanently without damaging the rubber?

Thanks in advance.

Can you not pinch (with pliers) both sides of the part that fits over the raised metal edge of the body and tap seal back on

+1. Take it off. Tap it softly with a rubber mallet on the side along the loose section. Refit.

Tried that and it just keeps popping off constantly. I thought maybe it could be glued back in to place but with it being rubber I didn't want to use something that would react badly with it and cause it to rot or melt or something weird like that lol.

If that's happening, the metal inside the rubber has "gone". The only solution is to replace.

Sillcoant sealer won't melt it use sparingly though as it can go every were.
