How to repair front door trim?

Clean the old glue and use liquid nails (at least that is what I would do).

I have trouble with cleaning the glue which is seeping out onto the door. I don't know how to clean the glue tight up against the trim.

Hello. Some more information or photos might be helpful for a custom detailed response.

Is it a wooden door with wooden applied molding or a metal door with a plastic glued on overlay?

Abglue removal and application of a caulked gap filling might be suggested depending on the gap depth seen

It sounds like the glue will need to be removed from the door. Try a scraper and if it's a painted door, repaint it. If it's wood, you will need to refinish.

Keep wiping the wet glue that seeps through, using a clean cloth or even a paper towel.

Hi Charlotte, here's some advice from an older Hometalk post that may be of help to you.

Use something plastic to scrape off as much of the glue. The you can use nail polish remover to remove the residue. A putty knife wrapped with a damp cloth in nail polish remover can get up to the edge of the trim.

Heat the glue up with a hair dryer and scrape off the residue with a plastic store card. If any excess remains. If there is anything left of the glue, then you can use something like WD40, nail polish remover or even Goo Gone.

Yes or with a tiny nail

Use a degreaser to remove glue and buy a new pieces of trim

You may need to remove the glue. And paint it or refinish it.
