You probably need to leave the door open until the adhesive is 
cured. (I like the 3M weatherstrip adhesive.) Once the adhesive is 
dry you could add some Talc or silicone to the gasket to make it 
slippery so it will curl over properly when the door is closed.

If you try to close the door before the adhesive is sound you will 
pull the gasket out of position and have to start over.
