Default Headliner separating from roof

I've got a 2017 3LZ with the diamond stitch headliner and yesterday I noticed there are a couple spots where it's not adhering to the roof panel. I thought the adhesive was letting go but it doesn't appear there's any adhesive in these spots. The two rear corners seem to be the worst, but the front two are loose and in the back near the roof latch as well. I'm thinking about just shooting some 3M spray adhesive and calling it good. The logical brain is telling me to take it to the dealer so they can document and address it.

Anybody have this on their cars? Fix it or take it to the dealer?

Thanks,
Mike

I noticed that on mine early on as well. I think the way they wrap the material around the corners makes it difficult to glue. I'm about a year in and they never got worse. I think that's just how it is. I'd just keep an eye on it.

Dealer -- you paid for a warranty so make them fix it!

I'll bow to the will of the forum and let the dealer address it. Should be a simple fix. Think I'll take some pics before they fix it, just in case it comes back.

I replaced mine with a kalahari (to match my interior) diamond stitched pattern, done by an automotive upholstery shop for 150, looks great...you should do the same.
