Last winter I noticed the seal on my passenger front door had come away, I cleaned it up and used some silicone to hold it up and it worked, for about a year and a half. Here's how it looks and wondered whether anyone else had suggestions

Impact adhesive, such as Evo Stik.
Lightly cover the two surfaces to be glued and leave for about 15 mins until it's dry to the touch and then push them firmly together. In your case I would do this late afternoon/evening and close the door on it and leave it overnight.
Failing that, neoprene cement type stuff if you have somewhere that sells wetsuits near you

I would be careful with the amount of glue and closing the door overnight...:whistle:

Yes...........
Perhaps something between the seal and the door when it's closed just in case you use a bit too much glue.
Once did that with a workmates Fiat Panda. he came into work on Nights and we ran a bead of silicone sealer around his doors. Oh how he laughed in the morning !!!!!

I was thinking this after reading what Coco had said lol, thanks for the suggestion, sounds good. Maybe clingfilm or a clear bag between the door/frame
