How much evo-stick will I need for two cab door seals and the slider?

500ml. Or is that too small do you think?

I used/use a small tube.(evo red)
run a really small bead in the door and run it along with your pinky :D then hang the seal up and smear a real small ammount on the rubber and it should all be about touch dry by the time you finnish then fit, remember its contact adhesive so usually one go hence keep the glue in the bottom only else the seal will stick to the sides on its way in..

this little old 30g tube did the 3 seals you speak off and theres enough left to do it 3 times over.(or 4 if your a lancastrian) :D
and the small nozzle lets you just get it in the bottom of the seat/recess, if you dont then as said it will bond on the way in :shock:
