Yes. I suggest cutting plywood about the same fit and use props. You could also use 1x lumber or whatever you might have around. A nice thick bead is what you want, so any other good adhesive that comes in a caulk gun tube should work well. The weatherstrip adhesive is in a squeeze tube, so if you use that, get a couple to have plenty. I'm not a big fan of silicone ever since urethane caulks and adhesives have come along. I use the caulks in my work on homes, but don't have experience with any in this application. Urethane/tri-polymers stay pliant like silicone, don't dry out and get brittle.
Checking with body shop supplier/paint shop is a good idea. But I had good success with the weatherstrip adhesive. One truck I used it on that did have a headliner originally, so no trim at all.
