My Ride: 2006 550i 6spd

I believe my 550 with M Package came with shadow trim, I noticed the passenger side of the trim is coming off a little bit. I've applied pressure a couple of times, but the trim always finds its way up a little bit. What kind of adhesive should I use? I'm too lazy to take it back to BMW for such a problem.

Thanks

Crazy Glue...Just remember to take your finger away after 2 seconds or you'll have Fingerline trim.
