Default Help - door trim

Hi All, could anyone suggest a repair for my 2014 F type door trim issue? I tried 3m double sided tape which was useless. Obviously not under warranty any more. Any help would be great.

i also only have 1 key when I purchased it, any suggestions on how to get a spare, I am in a Chester UK

Super glue!
I had the same problem a few years ago although not as bad as yours.
I bought some gel super glue and very carefully applied some on the bottom edge with a toothpick making sure not to get any anywhere near it might squish out, then I pushed the trim down and held it for about 60 seconds.
Worked perfectly, never budged since.

I tried epoxy, it didn't work. It's not that the epoxy was the wrong tool for the job, it's just that the trim is not flat on the inside. This is a know problem, good luck.

Jaguar problems.... they certainly have issues with adhesives, alignment and smaller parts that are just outsourced to the cheapest suppliers. I’d buy 3M adhesive or try the super glue method as mentioned.
