help- door panels!

okay, in my 99 sc2 door panels, where the material insert is there are like "plastic welds" that hold the insert panel into the rest of the panel. How can i re-attach the panels together? theres no way to pop rivet and im thinkin epoxy is the only way to go maybe

I'm not real sure but I will have to reattach mine soon also. I have all of my panels out right now and redoing them in black and the lower portion that is covered in paper the same color as the exterior. http://saturncraze.com/paint/DSCF0003.JPG

I was thinking of using a hot glue gun or some kind of epoxy to put them back together but I'm not quite sure yet.

Laugh if you want to, but I helped a friend with this a couple of years ago. We tried to figure out the best way to go about attaching those upholstered parts, and eventually began drinking beer during our debate.

By the end of a case of beer, we were pretty far gone. Neither of us knows who's idea it was, but somehow we ended up trying Liquid Nail structural adhesive on it. It's all still stuck together, so it must have worked. Man will it ever be a pain to take them off, though.

How about 3M adhesive trim tape? That's pretty tough stuff.
