Default Targa top head trim sagging

Noticed the plastic trim piece near where the targa top pins attach is sagging and cannot figure out the fix. The pine tree pin seems to be in all the way but the trim piece still hangs down. Any ideas?

I haven't pulled that piece of trim off before, but simplest thing would to pull it off and inspect. I'd suspect it's a the plug.

I know this is a relatively old topic, but I had just purchased a C5 this week and noticed the same issue on the driver side only. Plan on taking it off when I get home from work and seeing if the "Christmas tree" clips are the issue or not. Luckily, it seems like this halo trim is reasonably priced online in case I mess it up.
