Default Crappy headliner.

Anyone notice how crappy the headliner is situated, you can move it up like an inch. I also noticed on mine the homelink button/console is loose or something, when I go to hit the map lights, I can get the front console part closest to the windshield to start dropping down and then I would have to push it back in.

Your headliner is not installed all the way. There are some Velcro like pads that are used to attach the headliner in the middle areas (they are almost more hard plastic than hook and loop fibers) and the factory can be a little slack about installing them. All you have to do is locate them (easy on sunroof equipped models since you can see them in front and back of the opening) and push the headliner firmly up into them. Then you will be amazed how much better the headliner looks and the lights/overhead switches feel when pushed. Go try this 30 second fix and let me know what you think.

It sounds like yours isn't properly secured. They are just plastic clips or velcro (can't remember). So the UAW line worker didn't secure yours... If you give it a good push upward and it should snap in or adhere.

Or you could take it to the dealer and have them do it with dirty hands or some other reason to damage something else.

Well I played with it today, right above my head it seems secure but toward the middle of the cab where the hump comes down seems to move up like 1/2 inch. I will see monday when I take it to the dealership.

Took mine to the dealer, they said its normal, they looked at others on the lot and said they were the same. They did have to order a new console where the map lights are...
