Clean the services thoroughly first.
Then you can use good quality double sided tape.
It will last forever.

Most likely Sikaflex. Comes either in white or black. Sticky stuff it is. Its in a yellow tube and you use it in a cauking gun.

this should be in the tech section ;) but anyway i wouldnt use sikaflex or any adhesive like that on side moulds. double sided tape works fine. just make sure you get one that is suitable for automotive use....
