Default trunk cover rubbing

I wonder if these trunk covers would be replaced under warranty due to rubbing marks? At 12k miles, there're 2 rubbing marks on the sides of the cover, where it meets the side moldings, and one in front-center.
They seem to occur because the cover is moving during driving, over bumps, or frequent opening of the trunk door.

Default My solution: Remove it and leave it home..

After banging my head on it 3 times while retriving cargo, I pulled it.
I'll hide my cargo the way I did with the previous car.. Dark interior, large black cloth to cover things with, and tinted windows.

Default In my mind it's clearly a design issue, but I wonder if they'll cover under warranty?

In my case it's already close to the base of the cover, since we use the back door a lot besides the usual driving wear.
