Glueing black trim

What's everyone useing to glue the black trim back onto the sides? My left side back trim is falling off.

And on a side note, what is everyone useing to restore the shine of the side molding? I was looking into it, and "Forever Black" seemed like it'd do the job.

I used 3m trim and moulding tape to put one piece back on my car. Just be sure to clean the backside of the trim really good, to remove all dirt and remains of the original adhesive, along with the painted surface of the car.
As for restoring the shine, there are several products that will work. Back to Black is one that several members have had good success with.

Mask off the paint around the moulding, scrub with 0000 steel wool and paint thinner/mineral spirits, clean with water and dish soap, dry, then Mother's Back to Black.
