The plastic siding of my driver side door is coming off. The corner of the siding sorta peels back where the door bends inward on the outside. Should i use a paste or glue? Definately looking to keep paint posterity.

If you can post a picture that would be helpful. Seeing the piece that is problematic will get better suggestions.  
Offhand, I would probably use a gel superglue. Even gels can run, be careful, very little is required. If it runs it can ruin surrounding surfaces.

Not clear how that trim was originally fastened but 3M makes a Trim Adhesive specifically for cars.
