Default Wiper door separating

The two halves (top/bottom) of my wiper door are separating. Any advice on what to use to bond them back together? GorillaWeld?

You do not indicate a year of car. Assuming 68-72 because after that the wiper door was eliminated. There were originally 4 clips that did a fine job. How many are you missing? There was no adhesive used.

Ah, didn't realize it was clips, as it appears this was glued at some point. I'll have to pull it and see what it's missing.

The wiper door trim had five clips across the back side of it.. You slipped the clips on the door, the slipped the moulding under it. If you need an AIM diagram of this post back, I don't have access to it tonight but I will in the morning.
