I had the naugahyde peel back along the edge of where the door lock hole
is on the door panel of my 89 200tq.  I used a heat gun which made the
naugahyde soft and stretch easy (Don't hold too long).   Then I used a
glue gun to glue it on the bottom.  To make the glue stick better I
wiped the plastic with acetone.  This cleaned it and also softened the
surface so the glue will stick better.
