Trapped Dirt with Stongard

I've had my Stongard (paint and light) installed for a couple months now, and am starting to notice a small issue with dirt accumulation.
Car is an '01 9-3SE. Along the top edge of the Stongard that covers the front spoiler (just under the black plastic strip), it looks like a short edge of the Stongard didn't adhere to the paint. Underneath that edge, between the Stongard and the paint, dirt accumulates. I can see lines of what look like sand running all the way across this edge, and also down along the top edge of the bottom part of the front spoiler (under the foglamps). There are a couple of places up on the top bumper area (just under the headlights), where there will be a little "edge bubble" where the Stongard didn't adhere, and dirt is getting caught.
I can also see the effect on the edges of the light guard that covers the headlamp lens.
Has anyone else noticed this issue, or discovered a solution? I'm happy with the Stongard in that it's protecting my lights and paint from rocks, but I could see how over time this dirt accumulation could look pretty bad.
Cheers,
'Roo
