Default Door separation issues

My 2004.5 S40 has the cloth material separating from the interiors of all 4 of the doors. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Thanks in advance.

There really is no way to fix it if it has gotten very bad, you have to replace the door panels. How bad are they?

Bad. They're all completely separated. The good news is that the fabric really only represents about 1/3 of the doors' surface. It looks like a competent shop (person) could spray adhesive behind, and just re-lay the material or new material. But I have gone to a good shop and they said they can't do it.
