Default My door pocket thing fell off.. Any fix?

Hey guys sorry for the weird title, but I'm not 100% sure what you call this. Any way here is a picture of what im talking about.

This thing but on the passenger side

My door pocket thing fell off.. Any fix?-imag0859.jpg

It came off earlier today when a passenger of mine closed the door. As if it was loose to begin with.. Any idea on how to get it back on there? The pocket thing is still on but this panel that covers it fell off basically.. All help is appreciated.

Are there any clips? If not, I would just super glue it back :/

Am not sure however these are normally just popped in and popped out. Have you tried disassembly of the good one? If you did, you would know how to re-assemble.

I'm afraid if I do I may just end up having two broken pocket things instead of one

There are no clips that I can see. I know the actual pocket itself has clips but this doesn't have anything that can really grab on as far as I can tell.. Maybe super glue is my best option. Uggggh. And hear I was thinking my interior wouldn't start coming apart like my old BMW. It's even starting to creak and rattle more.. Smh. I suppose it is a 10 year old car though.

Why don't you take picture of the back door pocket panel. We all know how the front look like but not on the back.
Take picture on the door panel without the pocket as well.

Hi, it's been a few years but I'm hoping you found a solution? I have the same problem on my IS250.

Thanks!

Just looking at the picture, perhaps the cover is just glued in? Anyway good luck.

Judging from what that panel affixes to, there are some little white "clips" to hold it on AND maybe some glue. I would rig something up that would include epoxy.

Well I tried to look at my driver's door pocket for how it works and it didn't go well. I'm going to have to fix one of the cables that pull it back in place. I think to fix this at a minimum you'll need to pull the entire door panel. I might have time to start this on Monday and if I do I'll try to do a write-up once I've completed it.

I have a different problem with the door thingy (I don't know what it's called either). My door thingy didn't fall off, but it's badly frayed at the bottom and looks terrible. I was hoping I could just find a replacement door and install. I see several responses say something about super glue. This is a hinged door, so I'd rather not glue a new one in place, which would prevent me from opening and shutting it.
