Default How can I fix this exterior door trim?

Hey gang. When I was removing my painted on pinstripes, the chemicals messed up the adhesive on the black strip that sits on the outer edge of the driver's door. I'm not sure how to fix it. Any ideas? Thanks!

The best thing to do would be to completely take off the rest of the door trim. Then either use a heat gun or some kind of goo gone chemical to remove the old glue off the door. Careful not to scratch the paint. Then just go to Napa or some other auto parts store and buy some door trim adhesive and glue the trim back on.
