Default Another Hoodliner Question

Just bought a new hoodliner and put on the decal I got from 91ZR1 off Ebay and that went well. My question...this being a brand new hoodliner, never been on the car yet and I noticed it is already separating a bit on the edges. Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent this from happening? I was thinking about getting some clear epoxy and going around and sealing the edges unless someone has a better suggestion??

I think everyone has the same problem and perhaps has no clearcut answer. I've had mine off twice for painting and touchup but the edges are a problem. All I've done is make sure that I coat the edges with black spray paint. When the edges separate, I've glued them and used office clips to hold the glue. Then paint. Anybody else?

I just repainted mine and used Elmer's Spray Adhesive to seal up a part that had delaminated and it worked very well. You may need to respray the edges after with flat black.
