Adhesive/glue for ceiling panels in a 400?

One of our ceiling panels has come undone along its edge.  The trim piece has also come undone.  Any recommendations on an adhesive or glue to put them back in place?

Thanks!

    We're having  similar problems with our 2018 400 and I have an appointment Monday with our dealer to get them fixed. Want it to be on record in case it becomes a big problem later.

    Problems during the one year warranty should always go to the dealer first, no matter how far away they are. Contact the factory if the dealer is not helpful.

    We live in the NW and bought the trailer in Arizona.  I took pictures to document the problem.  But it seems like it should be a simple fix.  The edge of the panel isn’t sagging much.  And the trim piece is very light weight.  For the time being I used 3M double sided 30lb tape.  If it doesn’t hold I’ll probably use @boo ‘s idea.

    Should I contact a dealer closer to us, or the dealer in Arizona?

    Contact NuCamp first and get a warranty claim number. I had the same problem with my 320 and it was covered.

    We have the same issue on a 2022 Tab 400. To fix it the dealer is quoting $1,100. Does anyone know if NuCamp can help cover any of it, as it seems to be a manufacturing issue?

    We had a ceiling trim piece come loose. I refastened it with Le Pages No More Nails adhesive - it comes in a small tube. I masked either side of the joint; applied the adhesive to go under the trim and edge of the panel; set props from the floor (adjustable paint pole); let the adhesive set; removed the props, the carefully removed the masking tape with the help of a hobby knife; and bobs yer uncle. Make sure the masking tape is placed adjacent the trim piece and not under the edge otherwise you will not get all the tape removed.

    Hi there.  I think I'm having the same issue on my 400 but want to confirm the piece that you are referring.  Here is a pic of my sagging ceiling trim.  Is this similar to what you glued?  Thanks.

    Tabinator. Your pics look like the same condition I repaired. It is pretty straight forward once you get at it. Remember to keep the masking tape just clear of the edge of the trim.
