Soon to be a new F150 owner, I think my headliner is jacked up

I asked if they can repair it and was told by the service manager that it's absolutely 100% designed that way and they can't fix something was designed that way.
I just want my damn truck and tired of bitching at them. It's either take it the way it is or start all over and find another truck in Arizona what doesn't have hanging headliner.
No I don't have a sunroof and I don't know what they mean by there's two different styles of headliner. One that seats nicely all across the windshield and rear window and one that seems to be hanging in the 4 spots.
He went with the fleet manager and looked at a bunch of trucks on the lot and said that some of them are hanging and some are not. He said one was hanging even more then mine on the drivers side windshield and was even frayed a lot on the edge of the headliner. I would think then there was an issue if he saw that.
But whatever, I just want my truck.
Here's a photo of my rental 2013 F150 with 12k miles. The driver side is hanging down almost an inch and the passenger side is only hanging about 1/8"
I don't believe it was designed this way.

...The truck I picked just got delivered to Tucson from a dealer in Phoenix and I went to go look at it this evening and should be taking delivery in the next day or so when all the paperwork is done.
Question I have is, the headliner seems to be hanging down about 1/4" on the drivers/passengers side front and rear and wondering if it's common...

I recommend working with your dealer to get this resolved, as they are in the best position to assist with any pre-sale concerns. All of our vehicles go through extensive quality checks before hitting the lot. If anything should come up once you bring it home, Crystal and I are here to help.
Thanks for the heads up, rdkev.

Thank you very much Ashley and Crystal.
I think I'm going to look for a different truck. Even the fleet manager says he wants me to be happy and not settle for something I'm not 100% happy with and suggested finding something else.
So he sent in another vehicle to Mimics for a worksheet and we'll see what happens.
This one has only been on the lot for less than a month and has only 3 miles on it.
AND, it has EVERYTHING I wanted as the last one plus sunroof, NAV, and max tow package.
BUT, it's $2k more and don't know if I'll be able to swing it.
But we'll see what happens.
