If your points are glued to the foam which is glued to the baseboard, check your points thoroughly to make sure they are flat through the frog (crossing) then look out for any signs of the frog area becoming domed later in life. It may prove necessary at some time in the future to put in some fine pins in the sleepers around the frog. It's annoying but the problem has never been addressed by Peco.
