My grand nioece's beloved Mazda 3 door panel vinyl skin is separated from the panel at the edge. I pushed it back in with a plastic interior flat pry tool.
Here is a pic; it is the lower panel. Can you suggest an appropriate glue if (and when) is separates again?
Thanks in advance.

My suggestion would be a glue like a shoe cobbler would use . I have no idea of the brand or where you would get it . For some odd reason I enjoy watching a fellow on YouTube that repairs cowboy boots and work boots .
 
The difficulty with issues like this is that those panels are vacuum formed, and the vinyl is under tension, so when the adhesive fails, it's very hard to replicate that application and restore the same shape, especially with more complex shapes.
