The rubber strip has foam backing. Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

The parts breakdowns might help...

Appears #20 pushes/clips into #26 to hold the panal in place.

There is an "Dishwasher door panel channel retainer kit" for your
model#.

Thanks for finding the information for me. The "retainer kit" looks
like parts #20 & 26 plus some kind of adhesive. It seems I already have
the parts and perhaps just need the correct adhesive to reattach the
door panel. What kind of adhesive would do the best job? Is it as
simple as I am describing or should I order the "retainer kit" for $40?
