Quick fix on side molding?

glue it back with clear RTV silicone.

Or use a real molding and trim adhesive, 3M makes an assortment of them, most auto parts stores should have it:

Agree with this. I"ve used 3M molding tape on the trim of all four doors of my '98 Golf. It has held well. It is double sided tape, but made explicitly for trim. Here's part of a post I made the last time I saw this topic come up:

"I used a putty knife to scrape the old tape off the trim, made sure the door was clean, put the new tape on the trim, and then applied it to the door. It has probably been at least two years since I replaced the first trim with no problems. One extra thing that I did was to place vertical pieces of tape at the ends to kind of seal the trim. Originally, the trim only had two parallel pieces that probably let water in. It doesn't take too long, and the only cost is for the trim tape. Less than $10 a roll as I recall. "
