Leather siding falling off

I purchased my vehicle with this problem and I tried some spray adhesive that I had left around and it did not work. I live in Texas, my car is not garaged, and it is black. This is not good for most adhesives so I was wondering if someone could recommend a product that I could use that would take care of this problem.

What brand was the adhesive? I recommend 3M Super Trim Adhesive. I put it on one side of my cars trim and it held great. The other side is barely starting to peel, so I'll be spraying that side also. Don't cheap out and get no brands, 3M's double the price of the other brands but worth it.

3M makes an interior glue for this kind of stuff. Check out their webpage.

I'm having a similar problem on my driver side door, only mine is peeling a very little bit.t. Let us know if the 3M spray works, thanks.

The 3m spray works but I am no professional, it was not the easiest thing to do and the small amount of over-spray was hard to get off. The edges around the trim are still sticking out so I might try something like super glue to keep them in the crevice, the nozzle goes too wide so I cant just spray in the crevice.

I wonder if that little tube that came on old WD-40 cans would work to reduce the spray angle? That and a generous amount of painter's tape to tape off anything you don't want glue on...
