Default How to window switches wood trim

I am sure I am not the only one that has the wood trim coming off the door panel window switches. I have tried super glue and plastic model glue! Neither work both do not hol trim to switch, anyone out there found a GOOD adhesive so I can finish the job? (91 lS400)
Thank you

Contact cement should do the job.

I used car emblem adhesive.

Its a strong clear rubbery substance that holds it well

I used 3M Clear Marine Silicone Adhesive Sealant... This stuff works great on a variety of problem fixes. You need to get the Marine version from a local marine store like West Marine. It works much better and sets up faster than the consumer version's of silicone sealant that are available at Home Depot. I came across this because I've owned a lot of boats. It has a vinegar smell to it out of the tube, but the smell goes away in 24 hours after it cures.
