Default TA door issue!

I just picked up a 98' TA and the pass. side door skin is seperated from the door shell where the door handle is about half way down the door. I know the skin just glues on but what do i use to re-glue it? and can that be done on the car?

I used some epoxy, it did the job. Has held up for the last8 years.
Whatever you use you just have to get it inbetween the panels and clamp it.
