Default Best Adhesive?

This is car related, but not neccessarily technical. After Ernesto ran through I found out the hard way that there is a slight bend in my door that allows water to get in and it got me thinking. What is the best all-around, waterproof adhesive to bond weatherstripping to weatherstripping or anything else to anything else for that matter? I side with Gorilla Glue!

It is, that's the reason it was created: to seal ammunition cases from water. Hence it's original name of Duck Tape.

Get some weatherstrip adhesive. That's what it's made for.
