Default outside door handle

well.. one of my door handle covers on the outside (the part around the handle) is coming off.. Whenever someone tries to open the door it just loosens more and more.

Is there any kind of special way to reattach it? Like a glue?

thanks

It actually clips in so the problem is tht the tabs are most likely worn out and you will have to replace the handle piece and have it painted

Oh well.. I just looked at my bentley manual that I forgot I had and it looks like there's a lot of removing parts just to get the cover off.. I think I'll just use some glue
