The Trim pieces that go around the woodgrain "wallpaper" on my 81 are starting to peel off and curl out. They seem rather stiff & inflexible now so do I get them to flatten back out and what is the best way to reglue or attach them back to the body?

Wondering how to straighten them, myself.
I had one piece of trim on the tailgate come loose and break off when I got the truck. Fortunately, it broke off when I was loading something so it wasn't lost on the road. I used 3M Super Weather Strip Adhesive. Comes in a red box at most parts stores. Costs more than most others but worth it and still usually less than $5. Then the rest of the trim peeled off and I got tired of riding around with only a 10" strip of trim on the tailgate so I tried to remove it. Ended up having to cut it off then use a razor blade scraper to get the glue off. The stuff bonds really tight.
Now I'm looking to get a full set of trim for the tailgate that's all in one piece.
Be careful with the glue, it contains MEK.
