Door Panel Repair After Removal

1989 300E

I just removed the right rear door panel from the car to replace a failed door check. When I was removing the panel, I might have been a little bit too aggressive as 5 out of the 7 glued on door clip came off. The remaining two near the bottom are still very tight and secure and the ones that come from the arm rest are integrated and in good condition.

I am going to remove all of the old adhesive from the plastic clips by soaking them with Goo Gone (Adhesive remover) and scrubbing with a brush until they are completely clean. For the door panel I am going to dig out as much old adhesive as I can with the screw driver you see in the picture, without digging into the cork (it that was this panel is made of?)

To reattach the 5 clips, do you guys have a specific recommendation? I was just going to use Super Glue, but it is not what Mercedes-Benz used in 1989. Just wondering if anyone on this forum has had to reattach these clips and was interested to learn if I can use a better bonding material/adhesive.

Please chime in. Thank you!
