So, I was cleaning it and noticed the silver trim on the top of the rear fender is coming loose? Is there fix? How is it attached?? Couldn't see anything but space?

If you look up inside the wing you should see sheet metal tabs that come down thru the seam and then fold over, securing the bead.

It will be close quarters back up there but you may need to straighten & tug on that tab (also pressing on the beading with your third hand) before bending it over once again in a tighter position.

It's also possible that the tab is broken or missing, so step one is to peer in there and see what's what.

Here's a pic inside there, you can see the tabs sticking down and (crudely) bent over:
