Headliner Issue, Front Door, Tailight

I have owned my TL since Feb 27th and my headliner is starting to slowly come down. Its not occuring in the front where the moonroof is, its occuring at the rear right passenger side. I can see the grey insulation. This is disappointing but I'm not maD because the car is still under warranty thank GOD.

I have tint installed in my car and the window tailight is bleeding light throughout the back. When the guy installed the tint I guess he had no other choice but to pull back the light cover to correctly put the tint on the entire window. Is there anyway to fix this problem. I hate the glare at night when I hit the brakes.

My left door has issues, each time I open it I hear a slight poping noice, can this be corrected with WD-40. Is anyelse experiencign this to.

THnx for the help

My taillight cover did the same thing but I found that with just gentle pressure upwards it snapped back into place. It just wasn't clipped back up properly when they took it down for the tinting. I still get a slight glare on the window but nothing like it was.

I have found that one of the sources from the popping from the door was under the hard plastic piece that wraps around the underside and the inside of the window on the door frame. I mean the underside at the top of the window. I pulled this piece back and appied some WD40 along the piece that touches the metal and it solved the problem. There are tiny pieces of felt in this area that the factory installed but it wasn't enough to keep it from popping. There is another post in the forum that explains all this.

Hope this helps.
