Plastic Sunroof Bezel piece around Sunroof button?

Anyone else had problems with this falling off. Mine won't seem to stay in place, it's been replaced by the dealer 3 times, and never fails to fall off. This last time they put a little glue on it and shoved it in farther or something, but a week later. It's sitting on my seat. So I think my guy i know at the Chevy dealership said we will have to do a new headliner

After the dealer failed to fix it after four times, I just used Krazy-Glue. Hasn't fallen off since.

Krazy-Glue fix is still holding better than any of the four GM fixes I've had.

Is it really only 2? Mine has a 3rd on what's either the front or back of it that appears to have been broken both times mine has fallen out.

After I took mine in 3 times they replaced it with the newly redesigned bezel piece. It hasn't fallen off since.

so the bulletin says to replace the bezel and the retainer. if you don't want to do that the trick is to flatten out the 2 retainer clips so they sit more flush with the clips on the bezel. if you look at them you'll see what i mean. on the bezel the the clips have a flat ridge on them. on the retainer the clips are more rounded, doesn't work too well as you can see.
