My old car weather stripping is falling down it track. Its still in really good condition, it just fall off the track. What can I use to glue it back it track ?

I also look for wet/dry vacuum , clean out car and truck... any good one I can get under 100 buck ?
 
Goop you can get at any hardware store/big box store. Not sure if it is waterproof?

I have used the following product in the past with a lot of success:

3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive

Can be found in most automative stores.
 
MB specs a product that looks similar to rubber cement. Its what I use. Not sure if the 3M stuff is overly tenacious.

I have used Automotive Goop with great success for Trim.

The First time I used it was for a rear, chrome, trunk trim on my Triumph Spitfire restoration.
Originally that trim was attached by metal clips that would scratch through the cars paint and before long Rust would start.
Goop alone has now held that trim piece on for 12 years.

what is best size for me, just to vacuum the car and truck, not heavy dirty, but mild dirty truck...
 
I use my shop vac around the workshop for clean up and for dust extraction on my tools like my Table Saw etc. in addition it's used for cleaning the cars and household use like cleaning up after minor floods (washing machine) and un-plugging drains. It's about Mid sized at 5 gal capacity.
I recommend it because it has outlasted any previous shop vac I've had by a large margin, and takes common generic (Sears type) filters

For size.
Because it's form Home Depot, pick what ever model you think suits you, if it doesn't work out, take it back and get another bigger or smaller.

Take it out and tap it. If it really gets dirty, it can be washed at least a few times, then you will need to replace it. 'Two packs' come on sale regularly.

Don't forget to register the warranty, it's quite easy. and MY experience was, when I had a claim on a Drill battery, there were no hassles what so ever.
 
Maybe the weatherstripping just needs to be inserted back into the track? I have seen that on plenty of cars. Use glue (weatherstripping adhesive - something flexible that is not silicone) only if you have to and sparingly.

Sometimes it's worth it just to replace the weather strip entirely.
