Default Cladding problem

I noticed today when I was quick-detailing my '01 ES that the lower body cladding panel (on the passenger side, between the front and rear doors) has lost some of its adhesive to the body, and therefore is showing a small gap when looking down from the top. The gap is large enough to fit a small screwdriver to pry out. I'm wondering what's the best epoxy or adhesive to use to remedy this situation. I'm sure it's not necessary to have the entire cladding panel replaced since it's in excellent condition with no scratches.

Doug, do you know anybody that works in a bodyshop?
I do but won't see them until Tuesday night. I will post their info if it is reasonable or do-able

That would be the best bet....find out what the professionals use.

the modling is put on with some double sided sticky tape. Mine is slightly falling off as well. I just left it alone, but yours sound like its worse than mine.
