I saw this issue in the 1993 Convert I bought for the GF. Rather than use Weather strip Adhesive try E6000 available in better Craft Stores or Walmart on the craft isle. Silver 2 ounce toothpaste type tube.

E6000 is good. I did my door panels with clamps and Gorilla Glue and they look as good as new.
