Default Drivers door is detached???

Had the window down and went to opened the door and it made the loudest pop sound I have ever heard from a door.
What happened, is that the door on the front half under the mirror, had come un-glued and with the window down, caused the exterior door panel to bow out slightly. When I tried to open it, it cought on the front quarter panel. There is no paint there anymore.
What compuind/adhesive should I use to get this to stick?

3M panel bond, part # 08115 & the manual applicator # 08117.. Might be best to pull the door so you can get the surface really clean & clamp the skin down til the adhesive can cure.

Thanks. I did pry on it a little with a flat head to show these pictures. Can still open and close the door. But want to fix it before it's sitting on the road or something crazy... Thanks again

I have seen this a couple times as well.. The 3M panel bond will fix you right up!

I just bought the car too. Luckly found it in front of the dude I got it from. He didnt know about it so we took care of it. I've never seen this before so I figured someone would know the right combo to make it work. It was just crazy when we first saw it. Thanks again
