I did the same thing once. I just reattached it using the original staples and some pliers (took A LOT of time and elbow grease). Not 100% perfect because some of the plastic buckle clips broke so it doesn't completely flush but it beats it half-hanging off.

If you need to get a new one, get Ford or a panel beater to reattach it. Can't really offer much other advise.

you could try and silicone it on, just make sure you butt it up nice and tight and everything is clean
