Default HELP! Grille breaking apart!

It may just be the lining but it is difficult to move back up. Should I contact a dealer about this?

thats really nothing.. it's the lining falling down. if it really bugs you, you can take the grille off and reglue the lining back in with a dab of super glue

I had the same problem with my grill work only on top the gasket was coming out. At my service I showed to the service writer and he said they would install a new grill work in warranty.

The front Grille. Sometimes that black adhesive or what ever it is,starts to show itself.

Ohhhh, ok. The seal you mean? The black gasket seal. I had an issue when I replaced my grile to the TC grille, if you end up roling up the gasket, it looks bad. It does not really affect functionality, but looks bad.
