Sagging Window Gasket - any suggestion on adhesive to fix it

All:

The upper edge of the gasket on our large window in our 16 TBS slide (about 4 ft long) has dropped in the middle of the top.  We can see there is some truly sticky stuff in there and pushed it back into place.  The gasket continues to sag though and we have to push it back up every few days.  I was wondering if anyone has had this issue and could recommend an adhesive that would work well to hold it up better.

Thanks

[p]This might work for you [a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CCFXYY/ref=nav_timeline_asin?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CCFXYY/ref=nav_timeline_asin?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/a] I have used this in the past with good results. However, you may have to clean out all the old adhesive in order to achieve a good bond?[/p]

This did the trick - so far anyways.  The thing I learned is that the gasket was adhered to the trailer only on the outside edge - there was nothing holding the gasket to the 1" wide frame in the wall - so I added this adhesive and the gasket hangs laser-straight now.  Time will tell if it can handle the challenges of road travel but I'm optimistic
