Default trim issues anyone?

I have a spoiler on the back that is loose, and the small track at the bottom of the driver door has also come loose. These parts seem very frail to me. Anyone have issues with trim pieces coming loose? Best way to fix them?

my gutter trim came loose and I used silicon goop to restick them on. I have also used some doublesided tape (the good red stuff) with success. Is the spoiler bolted to the trunk or doublesided taped on?

My gutter trim came lose too. I think it was because my wife left the seat belt hanging out when she closed the driver's side door.

I was thinking of using tape or glue to re-attach but didn't know what to do with the tabs. Nevernu, did you break them off?

the gutter trim i was referring to was this. the little plastic locking tabs inside broke so it didnt catch right. i used Urethane Silicone Adhesive to glue then back at each of the 4 corners. my dealer said this often happens when pressure washers are used in the car.
