Where headliner meets windshield

I had a new windshield installed Monday. It was immediately noticed on my first drive afterwards that there was an annoying squeaking/rattle noise that appeared to be coming from where the headliner was resting on the new glass. I've given it a couple days, and it has improved a bit, but it is still very noticable on rough roads (which I travel quite a bit on).

Not sure if this is a common occurance after windshield replacement on these cars, but this noise has got to go. Are there any recommendations that will allow me to curtail the noise? Maybe some silicone lubricant to be sprayed where the two points contact? I'm not sure if that is a good idea or not. I hope one of you out there knows a good solution that I can apply to this issue. Any input would be appreciated.

the only somewhat common issue i've heard of is them not properly securing the rear view mirror to the new glass, check that.

otherwise, take it back to whoever replaced it, these things almost always have some sort of warranty, and they should fix it for free.
