You prompted me to tidy up mine-

The backing foams must have a close-to-accurate 20 year lifespan and has turned a bit slimy.

Per attached pics. I was able to get inside the material by removing the door release trim.

I used (fairly cheapo) spray glue, tried to get it as far back into the cavity as I could.

then was able to fairly neatly push the fabric home starting from the edges and working toward the handle.

I was concerned the glue would bleed through to the front, but no, it was fine and the finish is not too bad, for minimal effort.
I should have applied a little more glue, further in, but it's near enough.

If I get another 20 years from it, I can live with that.
