Default Help - Loose molding on OEM Ground Effects kit???

Hi everyone,

I bought my tC with the Ground Effects kit installed at the dealer. When they installed it, they added molding in the front and back where the kit meets the car. There are about 5 areas where the molding is "loose" and pulling away from the car.

The dealer said it had something to do with hot weather vs. cold weather and there's nothing they can do except glue the loose areas down, which they don't recommend doing. I think they just did a careless job because most of the molding is flush against the car...

Any advice? What can be done to make those areas look better? It looks like they just did a sloppy job but they aren't admitting to it. I don't like their glue option but I don't know how to fix it. Help please!

Thanks!

yeah they did a sloppy job!! I got mine with my car last may and here in Cali, we've had a bunch of days where it was 65 degrees and raining and within 2 days it was humid and 100 degrees. So they are full of poop becuase my ground effects kit is perfectly fine!!

I installed mine myself and know how it goes on intimately.... it shouldn't be pulling away at all... it's either warped parts, or poor install...
