Should there be flex in the rear cap

Noticed that the rear cap looked to be warped, thought maybe it was the way the light was hitting it......pushed on the fibreglass and it moves!!!!...concerned that this is delamination
Trailer is 2013 333mks with on piece of fibreglass covering the rear. It feels tight around the window, but flex's in about a 1/4"-1/2" above and below the window. Roof appears to be well sealed and I have seen no signs of water intrusion on the inside.

Your rear wall is designed this way. It is not a laminated/bonded wall like your sidewalls. It hangs loosely and the only place it is "fastened" is top/bottom/sides and the window. What you're seeing is normal.

Again thanks, after the huge slide leak we had I am a little OCD about water intrusion!
