Default Exterior Door Panel Coming Loose

Hey guys maybe you can help me out. I just bought a 2002 Firehawk and noticed when I got home that the outside door panel is coming loose, which is causing the driver side t-top to leak because its not pushing the window hard against the weatherstripping.

Is this a common problem and / or does anyone have a quick fix? It looks like all I need to do is apply some adhesive to make it stick again. Thanks.

What side/end of the door. If its the rear/lock side than panel bond. If its the top front pull the mirror and mirror bracket and replace the rivet that holds it to the door frame.

I have the same problem, and a thread on it. I plan on taking to a shop and having it glued (it's cheap because it's a pretty solid connection). Idk what a normal shop would charge. Haven't gotten around to it yet, though.
