Default Door panel clips

I am replacing a couple of the door panel clips that attach the panel to the door.

The problem is one of the blocks that the clips attach to separated from the door panel.

Can anyone recommend a good adhesive to reattach the plastic block to the door panel?

Thanks - I will look into it.

I asked a garage and they told my windshield adhesive. I am going to see what that stuff is all about too.

The whole car is designed so great but BMW must have had subcontracted the power windows and door panels out to a Chinese corporation.

I've used epoxy and it seems to work fine. I roughend up the mating surfaces with sandpaper first.

A friend gave me a tube of "Amazing GOOP" (contact adhesive). It took 24hrs to setup totally but it dries clear. It has a similar texture to the factory adhesive when it dries. It doesn't total cure until 72hrs. It seems to be holding very well so far.

I've used Goop. I've used JB Weld. Nothing has worked for me.

The "Goop" is still holding well for me. I think if the secret is to scuff and clean the surfaces well.
