Use a paint brush and wood glue. Use low tack tape to hold veneer tight while it dries.
Great suggestion there Judy! But go one step further; your door is suffering due to high moisture & or heat [from the sun] to help combat that & cover the problem...attach a 'door-kick panel' to the base of the door. You can get them at the hardware store in colors or types of metal & are super easy to attach!
you can also fill any missing strips of veneer with wood putty and sand when dry before giving door a fresh coat of paint.

Why not just remove it all, and paint?
