Door panels

Who has successfully removed and re-installed the door trimming on the door panel? The upper and lower section is, what I guess you would call plastic welded, so I’m looking for solutions for re-attaching after hydro dipping.

I've done it. Drill bit to remove and lots of adhesive to glue it back together.

What type of glue did you use? I live in the desert where temps can reach 120 degrees outside, so it can get pretty hot inside the car when parked.
