2020 320-s, the 

refrigerator door gasket

falls out of the groove on the door. I don't see any glue residue.  Thinking I should glue it in. 

What would you do. We have had our trailer since last May, purchased new.

    I would use 3M mounting tape to re-attach it.

    Coming off every time door is opened. Door and refer. Very clean.
    Going to put a few spots of Gorrilla Clear Grip.

    You have to press it in very carefully.  Start at a corner, press it into the groove in the door....and do that around the entire door, especially in the corners.  Mine hasn't popped out in a llooooong time.  No glue.

    I did that for 3 days in Eastern Oregon. It still came out every time we opened the door.

    You could try a very small film of "Amazing Goop."  You probably won't need it all the way around the gasket and you don't need a massive amount.  Amazing goop can be found at Lowe's as well as many hardware stores.

    Not sure where I saw it recommended, but I ended up using this 3M adhesive here.  Did it this summer so I haven't used it a ton, but so far it's been working great.

    I used "Shoe Goo".  Smell goes away after it cures and tube will last for years if kept in refrigerator.  Good for many different permeant glue repair jobs.

    owner of a 2020 320-s  ( does the s mean it is faster? ) I used Loctite 480 with a few dabs spaced apart 6 inches all the way around. So far, the gasket has not moved.
