Anyone else had this issue with their stripes? I've owned the car for a month. Is there a quick fix to do or just take her back to the dealer?

I would try to squeegee the bubble out first before I let a dealer put there hands on it. or bring it to a tint shop to see if they can get the stripe to lay down with a heat gun.

I thought about that as well, but she's still under warranty. My dealer got back to me and said they'd square it away.

Is this a common issue and do I need to keep on eye on all the stripes?

The stripes on my trunk were peeling up a little from the factory and lost their stickiness so they couldn't be pushed back down. Dealerships replaced them under warranty.

Make the dealer fix it. It should not do that.

My track pack had bubbling on the leading edge of the roof at the dealer prior to delivery. The detail guy made a pin prick and squeegee'd the air out. I now prefer my stripeless R. One less thing to worry about. It would be different if the stripes were painted on like the Viper, but I can understand the cost cutting measures used on the S550.
