Black roof overlay problem...

I was excited to receive the roof overlay but when I took it out of the package it had wrinkles in it. I thought they would come out with heat during the install so I installed it and it didn't look to bad, but some of the wrinkles were on the front and that didn't pan out well. I let it dry overnight then in the afternoon I took the car out and I heard a weird noise coming from my roof and I didn't know what was going on and when I got out of the car about a 1/4 of the roof overlay was missing. Here are some pictures of it:

WTF!! lol, maybe it was the way it was installed. because the wrinkles usually come out with the heat and like a credit card when smoothing it out.

But since it flew off, that might have to do with the glue (adhesive), which bat would take care of.

Yea it was such a loud noise too, sucks when I got out of the car and saw this. I'm going to get the tint shop to install the next one just to make sure it goes on good.

btw they were those small tight wrinkles which wouldn't come out with the hairdryer.
