Car Body Trim Repair Adhesive

On my car, one of the trim strips in the door is starting to come off. One end is loose with the connector thing broken off. With a 10 yr old car this is to be expected, but I would like to avoid the car looking too rough.
Any suggestions on how to reattach the loose end?

I used gorilla glue on my old car.
Since the glue foams up a bit, it was very effective at bridging the small gap between the trim and the body.
Held well in the weather too.

Clear silicone adhesive will work as well.

The absolute best thing for attaching stuff to cars. I tried other tapes and they all fell off in short order.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

I just tried the gorilla glue since I had a bottle of it and will see how it does.
Thanks!
