im assuming your talking about the outside skin. if thats the case there are several products that can be used to glue it back on. look for any type of panel bonder for smc,abs,fiberglass.
it may be easier to remove the door, but you need to sand the inside where the panels are joined with at least 180 grit paper. squeeze some glue in the gap and then use some clamps to hold it tight till it dries.
hope this helps

yea you can get it from an autoparts store. The door needs to come off, sand in between the panels with 80 grit, blow it out, glue it and clamp it.
Or take it to a body shop, because that door is VERY heavy, most of them have seen this before.
