In order to prevent moisture from staying behind your weatherstripping which causes it to detach, apply silicone spray to it.
After the adhesive has fully cured, spray silicone spray directly between the door and the weatherstrippings overhang and spray directly on it.
Wipe with a clean microfiber towel to apply evenly.
This step will also help the lifespan of your weatherstripping by protecting it from dry rot.
