Sunroof button trim - What the hell?!?
Okay... so I was one of the many who dealt with this problem right after I got my Cobalt. And many moons ago when I had it "fixed" I ended up sitting in the dealership for about 6 hours because, "we had to remove your headliner, a pillar, put a new bracket in there etc..." So tell me why the damn trim fell off again yesterday?!?! Not to mention, I took a look at the new bracket they put in... same damn thing as the old one!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so pissed right now... it's the little things, you know? It just makes the interior look so ghetto... ugh
Okay... done venting...

Ok so I had the same problem ... if it is the same lil trim outline I am thinking of ... so anyway the lil hook things that are supposed to keep it in place ... try slowly and carefully bending them outwards ... when they have less inward curve put it back in place (be firm) and you shouldn't have this issue anymore ... I haven't and I drive on some bad roads at times due to construction in the area

Yea... I could deal with it if it was some new issue... I'm more fuming over the fact I lost like 6 hours of my life for something that was apparently not done...

Guys do like OniMirage and Chevypowered said to do. This will solve your problems.
What you need to do is just bend the brackets (shown in the pic below) downward so that there is a larger area for the trim piece to clip onto. What I did was to pull the headliner out from around the sunroof (really easy to do, just pull the bottom part of the rubber deal that goes around the sunroof out so that you can pull the headliner down.) When you do this, it allows you to put your hand in there to help support the headliner so that you dont mess it up from pushing on the trim piece. You will have to push kinda hard to get it to clip back in place but it will be there for good then.

It broke on mine twice. Now they ordered me a new headliner and are installing it on the 11th. Hey, it is under warranty and , knock on wood, if this is the inly thing that goes wrong I will be happy.
