I used 3M auto trim adhesive found at Auto Zone. Clean the back and the track well with mineral spirits and applied liberally. Apply painters tape over the trim for about 4 hours and it should take care of it.

There is no glue on my 93. The insert should snap into the molding. It should stay put if you secure the end. There should be a small metal bracket attached with a rivet. If the bracket is missing use a small washer and pop rivet.

The trim on the new ones is nothing like the former models. It is glued in and does not use the riveted end clips anymore. I second the 3M trim adhesive, or 30 pound vhb tape.
