Auto body repair & detailing: 1992 Eagle Premiere side molding off, side molding, c clamps

Question
I have a great running 1992 Eagle Premiere 4 door limited sedan. Believe it or not, the aprox. 8 inch wide molding on the passenger side of my car got hookrd on the fender of a horse carriage when the horse was spooked by the fire truck's flashing lights while parked at my daughter's therapeutic horse riding camp. The Horse is named Debbie and she is a beautiful black percheron! I love telling my car was hit by a horse.It would be funnier but the molding on the passanger front door was pulled off and the black plastic clips holding it on had quite a few of the top tips broken off. The molding on the passanger rear door had slid forward to a point where I couldn't open both passanger side doors. So I pulled off the rear door molding. All moldings are intact. The back black plastic clips have only one where the top tip is broken. I would like to have the molding put back on without costing me more than my kids school supplies. I am not a perfectionist but I want my car to look clean and neat. Is there any way that I can "glue" the molding back on?  I am worried about which glue will hold up to the Michigan summers and winters. I am not good with too many tools. Thank you very much.

Answer
Ok...I thought I took care of this yesterday, but here goes.

Your door panels should have rivets that hold the clips that hold the molding; so the simple thing to do would be to tap the broken clips off, and snap (force) some new clips on, position the molding over the new clips...and wham it on.

I use my fist when I have an audience, and a rubber mallet when I don't.

Another way to do this, is to use a two part catalyzed 50/50 cement.  They make long working time types--you'll need the extra time.  This stuff can pull a train.

Don't mix anything until you are certain you have everything in place:

--c-clamps or battery cable like hand clamps.

--something stiff and long enough to act as backing for the molding--make sure the clamps will spread out enough to clamp the doors edge, the thickness of the molding, and the temporary support behind the molding.

--Paper towels and lacquer thinner for cleaning up not yet dried cement resin.

--Duct Tape--to tape down the center, if needed.
