I know exactly what you are talking about. Mine had this issue within a couple of days after installation. My dealer showed me a bulletin addressing specifically this part of the rear GFX. I didn't care for the details of the bulletin but dealer said something about using a new wipe-down solution and new tape.
While waiting for dealer to schedule my car to fix the problem, I tried to fix it. It was a pain to remove the tape residue since there isn't much gap to reach and scrape the glue off the fender and underside of the GFX. I cleaned the area, applied new 3M tape, and c-clamped it for 24 hours. Worked great for 4 days and started pulling away again. Finally, dealer fixed it on Friday and so far so good.
I suspect that over time, it will pull away again. That exact area of the rear kit doesn't have enough flat contact area to press against the fender surface. I figured, if it pulls away again, I will just drill a hole on each side, use self-tapping plastic fastener and use a nice bolt head cover to cover the head of the fastener.

Good information, thanks. I'll talk to a dealer before running down the DIY road.
