Hey Chris,
Had the exact same problem with mine. I think you are correct in assumming
that it is the stiffness of the decals that causes the problem. I just kept
pressing them back down whenever I remembered.
Doubt there's a fix that wouldn't involve glue, so I'm just gonna leave mine
alone. I usually toss out decals that lay across multiple bricks anyway.
