ive recently fitted new rubber running boards to our Opal, also using black Tiger seal. Works well but to avoid subsequent lifting you need to get a good fit to the car, avoiding pressure points which can lift the rubber after bolting up.
As already said, important to key the surfaces before putting on the sealant. The other thing I found useful was making templates out of polystyrene and plywood to the shape of the running board — which I then used as a sandwich for clamping ( polystyrene inside) — this spreads the pressure nicely.
Its a job that rewards patience!
