Panels Above Windows Lifting Off of Top of Car

NanoBrew

Hey all,

I recently discovered an issue with the body panels directly above my windows in my Z. The panels are actually lifting up (no longer creating a seal) from the top of the car. These are the panels that extend down the sides of the windshield to the hood, though they are seated properly along the windshield.

I first noticed this happening to my driver side panel, and I immediately drove it to the dealer who told me the warranty on the panels had expired (mine is a 2012). But upon driving it to the dealer, the panel had actually sat back down properly.

I took the car cover off today to find that the passenger side was now not seated properly (the cover is a Noah). Any thoughts as to why this would be happening and how I could get it fixed (pressing on the panel didnt get it to seat)? Could it be my car cover is somehow causing these panels to warp in transition from wet to dry?

My real concern is water getting in between those panels and doing damage. My car may be a 2012 but its got less than 18k miles, and i treat it incredibly well, this really shouldnt be happening imo....

Guess I should also note that the gap im talking about is between .5cm to .75cm

Any input will be appreciated
