The adheasive depends on what you're doing. If you are just trying
to relaminate
the skin to the door in a small area, almost any adheasive will do. Some have
used Silkaflex, the window sealer tape, etc. The problem with a lot of the new
heavy duty adheasives require a special gun that runs from $60 up, depending on
which adheasive you are using.

As Larry says, you want to clean the underside of the door skin, and the metal
door frame the best you can.
If you plan to redo the entire door skin, you should remove the skin, and then
check to see if all the mods to the doors have been done.
Unless Terry has changed adheasives reciently, he has been recommending
Norton Speed Grip (15) for the last couple of years. But this is
best used if you
are redoing the entire skin, as it is a 2 part epoxy. One load will
do 1 door and
the adheasive will run about $25. The gun to apply the 2 parts is about $60.

Can't be much help here. I'd say try Terry or one of the B vendors.
