That is how mine was originally and how I did the replacement.  It 
wouldn't stay in place until I did some serious gluing.  Ordinary 
contact cement/weatherstrip cement wouldn't hold it.  In the end what 
worked was a polyurethane glue.  I used the Elmer's version -- Gorilla 
Glue may be similar stuff.  The surfaces have to be wet and the stuff 
kind of foams and definitely oozes out as it sets.  I found the excess 
is easier to remove before it hardens.
