Default Cold Body Problem

My husband and I did a 1500 mile road trip over the last week & 1/2 and ended up in Grants Pass OR last weekend. The temperature dropped into the 20’s and the nose of my new C6 curled up and told me it did not like the cold. Has anyone seen this before? My dealer has seen it but only with heat not cold.
Yes that is frost on the headlight...

We started the trip playing in the dirt...

I have a corner that popped out like that, but mine was from frontal contact with the sidewalk. Must be some clip or something that snapped, but haven't figured out how to fix it for a long~ time. I tried to put a drop of superglue into the notch and hold it in, but it would only hold until the car flexed to pop it out again. Tried other adhesives to no avail. I can pull my corner up quite a bit, but still can't see where a clip would go to hold it there. Let me know how you fix yours...
