Default Loose Vinyl Door Trim

Both doors have loose vinyl door trim as shown in the photo.

Using my thumb, I can "roll" the trim back into place, but it comes up again. There appears to be a rubber pad under the trim - at least that what it feels like. I'm trying to think of a way I can keep the vinyl down in place.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

The first photo shows the vinyl up and out of position. It looks "puffy"
The second photo shows me pressing down in the vinyl so you can see how much it is up and out of place.
The third photo shows it in place after I press it back into position.

You need to remove the door card and re-glue the vinyl to the back side. The vinyl is wrapped over the edge and then glued to the back side of the door card. Use Weldwood contact cement like you would use for Formica countertop. Get the stuff with the red and yellow label, not the new "enviro-friendly" green label. Follow the label directions for use. This contact cement will hold up to the heat inside the car when closed up in summer. All the other consumer grade products seen at auto parts stores simply give up when the car interior hits +125F in summer. MrMerlin gave out this tip and it works perfectly here in Arkansas summers.

Is that glue also a good choice for reattaching the carpet to the console side panels?

I used Loctite Spray Adhesive (300 Heavy). It is heat/water resistant and listed for wood, carpet, acrylic. It worked very well. It does set quickly so pre-positioning is crucial. Purchased it at Lowes.

I believe Weldwood is just a brand of contact adhesive.
I used it to recover my rear hatch trim, lower door cards and sunroof liner in alcantara. It's really good stuff!
