I'd try a gel super glue. Super glue's are cyanoacrylate adhesives which are pretty good with most plastics (the type a door panel would be made from) and leather as well. A higher viscosity gel will keep it from running away to places you don't want it.
They use ambient moisture to cure and should set up pretty quickly, a minute or so, but you should count on 24 hours for a full cure especially if the panel is trying to pull itself off (the shape is such that it doesn't touch without you pressing on it). Also try to figure out a way to press something against the panel to keep it in place while it cures, you'll have to get creative. If you're not into the super glue idea, or really want to coat everything to be sure it's a strong joint, a 2-part epoxy for plastics will do it too. Home Depot / Lowe's / Amazon etc. |

I'm not sure what kind of glue he used, but any upholstery shop should be able to give you a recommendation if dsocold doesn't get back to you... |

My upholstery repair guy used a fancy two-part 3M product which mixes the catalyst with the glue as it is squirted through the applicator tube. I held the panel back as he shot a bead, then pressed it back into place. It was only the top of the driver's side on my wife's 2008 128i Sport and on hers I think it may have been actual leather. Can't say exactly since now it is totaled and has moved on. It was a simple repair but I suppose the product wasn't inexpensive. It was 3M Semi-Rigid Plastic Repair #04240

I used this to upholster the dash of my caddy and it's a great product. |
