Default Trim on door separating - easy DIY fix

I've noticed the trim (fig 3 and 4) separating on my right door.
Today I took apart my doors panels to replace the plastic bushings before they break. I now notice my window regulators bent. I'll just wait for them to go altogether. Anyway I figure it was a good time to replace the trim. It just pulls right off and presses back in. A rubber mallet helps. For someone who doesn't wash the car very often it makes the car look a lot better.

Then I glued the fasteners back to the door panel. I couldn't find gorilla glue as Phil suggested so I went with 3m weatherstrip adhesive based on NAPA's recommendation. The stuff sucks. But I did take Phil's advice and drill holes through the fasteners to let the adhesive ooze through the holes.

Plus replaced the fog light dash bulb. Dropped a screw in the dash.
Took apart the lower kick panel. Found the screw.

Replaced a worn radiator overflow hose and now all I need to do is clean the wheels since they aare black from track pads and secure my mats.

Then get back to work on the site.
