Bodywork. (Door Trim, and Quarter Panel)

Wondering what's the best way to repair the horizontal trim on the door.. One of them is starting to peel up.. I guess the glue or whatever is just old..
What should I use to repair it? and how?

Also, my Left Front quarter panel seems to be loose on the bottom, just to the rear of the front tire. I just noticed this evening when i was washing my car - how are they attatched to the frame? will I have to take off the whole panel to fix is? :S

Huuu? You mean the door skin is seperating? Can you provide pics? Without proper terms it is confusing sorry. The front lower part of the fender actualy the whol fender is held on by 10mm bolts.

yeah its just a factory style double sided tape that hold its on originally no bolts just make sure not to bend the trim cuase i belive it has a metal strip in the middle cause once you bend it the crase never rally comes out, yeah it should just peel off..

What door moldings are we talking about? I never had any door moldings on my S4's to begin with, or anything that the S5 didnt.
