I had frequent problems with the door weatherstripping coming loose even though I don't crack my doors open. I finally used a 3M neoprene weatherstipping adhesive that someone recommended on this forum and it seems to have solved the problem for good. Wish I could remember the exact name and part # but its out at the hangar. Its black and works like contact cement-apply to both surfaces, let dry, then press together. Its sold at auto body supply shops.

I replaced my door seals last winter with these:

They have 3M Acrylic Automotive grade tape and so far are holding up great.

Update:
The Amazon stuff didn't hold up very well. I ordered the stuff from the link in the post above and so far it is holding up well.

I tried the open door for a short while until the door opened in flight. The flutter that ensued shattered the door frame and bubble. Longer story short, I now use the SnapVent and installation wasn’t that bad. Here’s my YouTube video on how I did it. https://youtu.be/45QSf4vaH2k
