Default Molding separation?

Check out this pic. It seems like the plastic molding has detached slightly from the door frame but when I look at it its hard to tell how it was attached in the first place. I can push it into place and it "springs" back out. Not sure how to fix this. Any ideas?

What year is you LS? There should be some screws on each corner of the door to hold the lower panel. Also there are some double-side tapes too. You don't want to replace that lower panel.....that panel along cost around $500.

I think you would have to take apart the door to figure out what's wrong. It doesn't look too bad to me. I wouldn't worry about that man. Keep your car clean and it shouldn't be too noticeable.

Maybe some kinda glue or tape is the solution because it just seems like I need in to hold in place when pushed in a little bit more.

Try some Super Glue or Epoxy. Then put a clamp on the panel and let it dry for a while.
