I am not having much luck finding a good adhesive for the door seal. What are others having success with?

3M Super silicone sealant. NAPA and auto parts stores
carry it, or can order a caulking tube of it. From what
I can tell, it's almost or exactly like regualar GE clear
silicone sealant you could by at the hardware store.

Plain old Silicone is the only thing that we could get to work.

Just remember that silicone sticks to paint but paint will not adhere to silicone.

I tried GE Silicon II and it did not stick. Also tried 3M super trim adhesive, and Goop. Maybe I need to scuff the rubber some more.

Not sure what that means, but it seemed to work the way we did it. We tried everything else we could think of before just going ahead and doing it the way Van’s recommends. By the way, those that saw N256H at Osh with the screws holding it on, that didn’t hold up and we replaced it just using silicone and it worked fine. I don’t know the make or part number for sure, but I think it was a caulk gun tube size and I think it was GE. I just know that it said Silicone on it.
I would be very interested in another style of door seal, like the one Debbie had. I think the design of the doors, latches and seals are by far the weakest feature of this plane, although I understand the RV-10 isn’t the only plane out there with door problems.

I used a rubber door seal that I purchased from Brown Aircraft Supply in Jacksonville, FL along with 3M 1300L glue. The seal only comes in black and it has the identical profile with Van's seal supplied with the kit.
I was looking for a door seal with smaller diameter bulb so the door could be closed easier. I also did not want to get silicone glue (the only glue you can use with the door seal that comes with the kit) near my plane before painting the plane for the fear of contamination.
I seem to have a good seal and am able to close latch the door with less force on the handle.

I installed the seal after the door was painted. The door does need
a good pull though to close, so it would be nice to have your
seal, but in the standard silicone. The silicone should last
longer and hold up better. Both should be fine.

Rob,
Which actual part number did you buy? They have a number of them that look the same as the Van’s gray seal.
Thanks and do not archive.

It is BA1900010. It has a smaller bulb and a shorter leg. Just make sure that you mask the door before applying the 3M glue. Once there and cured, it will not come off.
