Has come loose and foam is degraded. Planning on scraping off foam and using contact cement or spray glue like Elwood Blues used.

What about the egdes where thy tucked in? Don't think silicone, maybe a gorilla glue?

I reckon spray on contact cement ( I use Ados F2 ) and do it in 2 stages . Id glue down the most of it 1st then after thats stuck and cured then roll the curved edge in . If you blow any loose stuff off 1st hopefully it will go back in place and be nice and flat , spose you could lay something flat against it while curing .

Don't want to take off so prob straight contact. Just worried about the tucking part.

the vinyl looks like it has torn on the edge. on most door cards, usually it wraps about an inch around the back side. the only two choices is a red-neck-engineer fix like you mention with silly-cone or other, or pull the door card and do it right by pulling the center out of the panel and re-upholstering.

Stainless trim screws with those trim washers would look good also. I’ve done that when nothing else sticks. I figure it’s my car, when I’m done with it nobody will want it anyway, if they do I don’t care.

my winter beaters usually had 2-3 sleeves of staples run thru the staple gun holding the head liner up and upholstery on the door cards.

I've used headliner glue (aerosol) for a couple headliners in the past. Might work on the doors.

Modified needle. Removed needle from where attached on the yellow part but to screw on the needle cover which is needed to get glue deep in the Crack it needs a part that I cut off with the needle so of course my super glue was dried up and mixing epoxy was a bit overkill so I heated the yellow part with a lighter to start melting and jammed into the cover. Cut the cap tip, heat to flatter to get into the crack better.
