I used 2” wide 3M VHB Heavy Duty 5952 automotive tape that you can get through Amazon to reattach them. I also needed to reattach the rubber weather-strip to the top trim piece since roughly 25% of it had come loose. I used some weatherstripping glue to reattach it that I got at Advance Auto.
That sounds like a good reason to inspect the attachment points frequently to prevent loss of a $200 to $350 used item. Thanks, I always thought that as mine had not been removed they were on as solid as the rock of Gibraltar.
