Problem painting a steel door

The steel door to my house needs repainting. It has four applied 'picture frame' type attachments. They are made of some sort of plastic, obviously to look like a four paneled door. There is also a semicircular window up top. The problem - the frames are very loose. A close inspection showed that the were attached to the door with plastic pins inserted into holes in the door. A lot of the pins have broken off and are all still in the door. Taking the pins out and trying to glue them back to the frames seems unlikely to work, even with the great glues that are around these days. I'm inclined to try that anyway though, and also glue the frames themselves to the door. Any other suggestions? Types of glue? Sources of replacement panels (Already tried - no luck.)?

Thanks in advance.
