Best adhesive/ sealant - repair hole in rubber door seal?

Hi, I’ve a car with a slight hole in the rubber driver’s door seal (pictured). What’s the best black coloured adhesive or sealant to neatly repair/plug this please?

The seal is otherwise in excellent condition but I want to reduce the risk of water getting in the hole and causing underlying damage.

Thanks

I doubt whatever you do the end result will either not work or fail shortly after. I’d be inclined to bit the bullet and buy a new seal. Thumbs Up

Thanks for the replies. A new seal is £771.66 plus VAT.

There’s no wind noise and the seal is otherwise very good. I’ve tried Loctite Super Glue 3g Ultra Gel. Repair looks tidy and as though it has worked. Time will tell…

Puncture repair kit was on my list as well 👍🏻

That’s why I opted for a £1.50 tube of glue 😂

I used something like this on some very flexible shoe soles, black and quite flexible, not too expensive if the current repair doesn't hold

I would second Merchy''s suggestion for Stormsure adhesive.

It's designed to seal leaking wellies etc, and does the job well Thumbs Up

Thanks for all the replies Thumbs Up

I used the above mentioned Loctite glue yesterday and it seems to be a tidy and strong (very minor) repair, although not water tested yet (albeit the glue dries clear and not black which isn’t good for my OCD Laughing

Also ordered a tube of the Stormsure adhesive today which should arrive tomorrow and which looks/ sounds just the job 👍

Ps… tried gaffer tape and couldn’t get it to stick. Maybe my roll of tape isn’t so good Thumbs Up

Pps… the reason I examined the seal was because I noticed a very small area of carpet smelling damp on the driver’s door sill which is surrounded by said seal - seal is one piece and goes all the way around the driver’s door frame and sill. When I found the pictured hole I wondered if water had gotten inside via that hole and had maybe pooled in the sill area near the carpet, hence slight musty/ damp smell. The car doesn’t get exposed to rain, it’s garaged and it’s only my washing hose likely to be causing any wet carpet… so the morale of the story is, stop washing it Laughing
