Door Weatherstrip Tape?

[1972RedNeck]

Long story short, my '72 needs a new set of door rubbers. I was planning on scrounging a set out of the junkyard but never got around to it. The other day, I wound up with a free set of factory style glue on rubbers.

Patience isn't my strong suit and trying to glue these things on would not turn out well for me. Is there such a thing as double sided tape or teh like that would work well in place of glue?

I just put new Precision rubber glue on gaskets on mine, really easy once I read the actual instructions for the 3M Black Super Weatherstrip And Gasket Adhesive. Readily available at parts stores. First did not read the directions and just globbed the stuff on the inside and outside of the cab lip the gasket goes on, followed by clamping the gasket on with cheap plastic clips. What a d**n mess, knew there had to be a better way, so read the directions and did a google search. The trick is to put a small bead of adhesive on the exterior part of the cab lip, and another small bead on the corresponding surface of the gasket, smooth down with a popsicle stick, let dry until tacky and does not stick to your finger when touched. Then apply gasket, sticks right up there, no mess. I did use some masking tape just to make sure it did not sag, but don't think it was necessary. It really was easy when installed that way, just do couple feet or so at a time. I found a video of how to do it, and how NOT to do it online, will try to find it and post it.

Here's the video:

Which 3M tape? They only make a couple hundred different kinds of double sided tape... I'm not an adhesive expert so I need a little help with the selection...

Hmm, $51 bucks is hard to beat - lifetime warranty to boot (if it even covers anything). I think I may just give these glue on ones away and drop a little extra coin.

Push ons are nice. I don't think there would be sufficient room for 2-sided 3m trim tape with the door weatherstrips (although it is a great backer for upper belt molding clips) - keep in mind it sandwiches over the pinch weld so it's not necessarily a flat mounting surface. I've only seen weatherstrip adhesive used with door weatherstrip (or the push-on type).
