I recently left my new 2011 Tele out of its case on a stand. During this time, the weather got nice and we left the windows open. The pickguard is now separating slightly from the body. The screws are all in tight and it was never like that before. Could the weather be affecting it? How to fix?

Photos please. I leave my guitars out on stands all weekend, windows open, closed, heat on, A/C on, and never had a problem like what you describe.

Pickguards can, and do, warp. The worst offenders are the 5 screw, single layer type.
It can happen even if the guitar is cased all the time. There's not a lot that can be done if they warp so usually the choices are, live with it, or get a new pickguard.
