Default Upper trim coming off

The upper trim moulding on my door panels is coming off at rear of the doors.Mad wants like $100. ea. to replace.I'm not spending a c note on a liitle trim piece.I was wondering if there is way to refasten the trim so it won't come up.?

Mine is doing that too in the middle. It's bolted on from underneath. A bolt probably broke off or maybe the panel itself broke through in that spot. I'm going to take off the panel and urethane the top piece in place and secure it with tape until it sets. That should hold it fine. The top panel should never have to come off anyway.
Good luck
