Default Door Insulation Adhesive

Need help, I just replaced the inner and outer door seal weatherstipping. In the process I noticed that the insulation was brittle and shot to s*** so I purchased new insulation. Unfortunately the tacky adhesive is no longer tacky and I'm not sure what to use that will not be permanent but will hold the insulation in place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I've always used 3M Weather Strip Adhesive.
Black or yellow.

If your talking about the insulation sheet between the door panel and the door, it is held in place with strip caulk. I got my strip caulk at an autobody parts house called Keystone LKQ.
