The instructions on the adhesive would tell you. Generally, above 50°F is ideal.
Similar to flooring, let all the materials acclimate to the same temperature.

QUestion what would happen if I used my adhesive below 50? I really want to get these installed but it's not 50 here so what would happen if I used it below?

I'm about to install weather stripping myself. I'm in NH, so its pretty cold here and wont be 50 degrees for months. The adhesive package doesnt mention anything about temperature so im assuming it should be ok. I also asked someone who installs widnshields and they said it should be fine.

It wouldnt dry correctly. If you have a garage or a friend w/ one, so there and do it... Set up a heater and get it up to temp... after about an hour or 2 (according to the outside temp) you should be good to go putting it on...
