I noticed when i got home yesterday that the plastic around the hood and passanger side headlight was sticking up. At first i thought some one pulled it up. After i looked at it better it seems to clip in. I cliped it back in but it is not flush like the drivers side. It was never flush when i got the car.My car is only 7 months old. Sorry i do not have pics.

My 08 coupe was the same way, but the drivers side was up a little.

Common problem. Our 2006 was perfect (Museum Delivery), our 2009 (purchased off a dealer lot) is less perfect on one side.

If you go to fix it or have it fixed, be careful. I've seen shops make it worse.

My driver's side is doing this, right at the lower corner of the hood and headlight it sticks up 1/4". Not sure what to do or how to address this, the photos attached are the driver and pass. side, taken from the back towards front of car. Photos are up-close and look worse than it is.
