Rear hatch
I just noticed that the trim has come loose from the top left side of the window. It looks like it is held on with an adhesive like double side tape or something. Has anyone else had this problem? I have my first oil change next week so I plan to take care of it then.

It snaps on with metal clips. Just push on it and you should feel/hear it pop in. I think there are about 7 or 8 that run across.

I had the same issue on my 2017 GS. Noticed it a week after buying it new. Tried popping it back in but it kept coming off again. Ended up getting it replaced through warranty. Clips were damaged.

They are pretty damn strong. I pulled mine off to install a rear dashcam not long ago. It should pop back on with some force. They make a hell of a popping noise when you pull it off. So they are sturdy.

Good to know that the trim just snaps on and off.
