Plastic trim (roof applique) bowing

[j0e_Jitsu]

I had this replaced at last service appointment. Although it doesn't bow as much it still noticably bows. OP did you get yours addressed?

I have a service appointment on Aug 16th. It hasn't been as bad lately. It just looks wavy.

I thought about popping this off as you did and then loosening the clips to see if they would shift ever so slightly forward. How hard was it to pop off? I tried my best to see any difference between the two sides since the passenger side doesn't have the issue.

They pop off easy start at one end and work your way to the other end. Just pry it up with some plastic trim tools then I just used my hand.

My applique doesn't bow as much as it used to but it's clearly wavy now

Update: got mine fixed a couple weeks ago and it's still warping and bowing up. At this point i just gave up on it. The old one wasn't so bad after being in the 100+ degree hear for months. It looked better before i had it replace, probably all the heat made the bowing settle.
