Roof de-lamination

I have a BRAND new Eagle Cap 1160. I've had a few small issues(speaker, thermofuse in refrig, poor trim adhesion, seams showing in ceiling material) of which some is to be expected(I guess). But today I took a peek on the roof and found the down the whole drivers side of the roof there are bubbles of the roof pulling up. Its kinda tough to see in the pics but in the month and a half I have looked up there 4? times and this was not there, its immediately apparent.

This is my 3'd camper NEITHER of the last two had this happen(ever) and I had the last one for 7 years.

How upset y'all would be to find this and what my demands for action should be? Quality control is NOT what it should be at Eagle Cap by any stretch of the imagination!

    Sorry for the semantic issue. I termed it delam, either way its pulling up.

    You assume incorrectly actually. I found it this afternoon, My dealer was closed. I thought I might come here to gain some knowledge before possibly having the dealer take advantage of my lack of experience with this issue.
  • I don't even think that stuff is glued down at the factory - they just stretch it over the roof.

    I've seen numerous 5th wheels going down the road with a HUGE bubble in the front.
