This is not a big deal and not uncommon either, and should not truely deter anyone from buying a bike. If it does, perhaps they were looking for a reason in the first place. The older bikes had pop in mounts on the top and they popped out too, most bikes do in fact. Look at Husky plastic and how that comes apart. The bikes are great but they are designed by humans for production in numbers and will have minor quirks. These quirks can be addressed as needed. I get paid to find and fix problems so its my nature to critique stuff, but the focus is always on a positive outcome not a bitch session. To me this is just a minor setup detail, no more, like adding a brake snake if you ride in a lot of brush. I'll mod it and share the info.
