Bubble under IUP door Panel

So I've had my '07 GT for almost 1 month and I love it. Tell me if I'm being a nitpicker - I notived today that a type of bubble or air blister has appeared on the passenger side IUP door panel. It's where the IUP black perforated material is in the middle. It should be flush against the surface but some air has entered behind the vinyl and there's like a circular bubble that is visible. I don't think that was ever there before. Should I take it into the dealer for a new door panel or just live with it? Kinda bothers me since everything else on the car is perfect. Thanks
Almost 850 miles on her in 4 weeks and loving it. Need to find more free time for some recreational driving.

How big is the bubble? If it is just a small one, like barely noticable I would say live with it. If it is big, or getting bigger, then take it back. Might need to be re-glued or something.

No, I don't think you are being too picky. Whether or not to fix this sort of thing is always a tough decision for me, however. On the one hand, I feel a new car should at least start out as close to perfect as possible. On the other hand, I have yet to find a Ford service dept. that can fix one thing without breaking another. I'm sure there are good ones out there, but unfortunately none near me.

I might give them a shot at the door insert since I'm guessing it can be removed and replaced without taking the entire door apart and having to mess with any wiring.

Just my $.02.

If it is just an air bubble then stick a pin in it to release the air. If it's a glob of adhesive then a hair dryer and some pressure should do the trick.
