Default Glue/Cement for Regluing Woodgrain Trim on Door Panels

The woodgrain trim on my door-panels has come unglued.

What would people recommend for re-gluing the woodgrain on? It looks like a metal backing and a metal base.

I'm imagining some type of contact-cement? But if I have to apply it to both sides, I'd prefer a brush-on type than a spray-type, as I'd like to do it without removing the door-panel or masking the whole door-panel.

Contact cement ought to work.

Contact cement would work, But I would try some double sided tape...easier to work with.

Another option would be to mask the area off, and hit the surfaces with spray 3M Super 77 adheasive. Think this stuff would hold up better than standard contact cement in direct sunlight. No glue expert here, but seen my share of contact cemented things, just kinda bake and dry out over time.
