Recently saw a 3m product in a squeeze tube specifically for that. Believe it or not, think it may have been at K-Mart...........

On the C3 I used the 3M-black. They also have a yellow. Worked good.

Are you looking for an adhesive for the weatherstrip?

I've used "Black Super Weathestrip Adhesive" made by Permatex....part#82. I bought it an autoparts store.

Otherwise maybe some GE Silicone II which is rated for outdoor use.

Just so you know,the blow-out clip is mounted under the w/strip retainer,not the w/strip.Remove the w/strip retainer and reseal with a bead of black silicone then reseal the w/strip in the retainer with the 3M super w/strip adhesive
