as long as it's not torn, just go with the 3m. Spray on the weather stripping and on the car where it goes, let it sit up for a couple min and put it on. I had to do that to my wifes car the weather stripping on the d/s door was falling off. I peeled it back all the way and just completely re-installed it.

I'd just take them off but if you have to have them I'd use 3M emblem adhesive, it's made for it.

get some pliers and crimp the metal that clamps onto the slit that sticks out from the door inside the rubber along the part thats hanging down, and then force the weather stripping on an it should stay

takes mabye 30 seconds to fix

That my friend is NOTHING compared to as if your tint accidently tore off while you were driving exposing your hideous self to other unsuspecting drivers.
