    get some 3M spray glue. spray the back of the fabric and put it back in place. if there is a bunch of residue left from the old glue you might need to scrape some of it off with a mid-grit sandpaper just to help the adhesion. think that would be all it takes. also it would probably be easier to do with the door panel off and the handle removed.

        Go to an upholstery shop and see what they recommend using.

          helmaprene, commercially available to the car audio shops. any shop that makes their own boxes should be able to help you out.

              What kind of spray glue/adhesive did Honda use on the stock fabric?

                    Ok, so assuming one doesn't spray too much of the 3M or similiar adhesive, it shouldn't stain and show thru...

                        The 3M works great, but it's a contact adhesive so it needs to be sprayed on both substraights, and allowed to tack-up before both surfaces are stuck together. They, pressed across the entire contact surface.....
