Best glue to hold that thin black plastic strip at base of door.

Part of that very thin black strip of plastic molding is hanging from my door trim. It's the strip that lines the base of the doors. Very little of the plastic comes in contact with the car body so I need to know what may be the best glue to hold that.
Thanks for any tips.

I used crazy glue just make sure you don't put too much and don't close the door after you apply it. I made that mistake and when it dried and I opened the door the black trim came ripped off lol. But when I close the door again it looks normal.

Wow! I had no idea this was that common of a problem. Anyway, I bought this 3M product called Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive (part #03601), and it worked flawlessly. Be sure to run the bottom edge of the door with rubbing alcohol to remove dirt or wax, also rub the back of the trim but make sure it's dry before applying the glue. Apply a light amount with a q-tip, toothpick or very small brush. It bonded in 2 minutes!

probably not but the glue isn't the problem its the fact that there is such a small area that you can actually apply the glue
