Default Rear Window Gap

Just noticed a gap at the rear window. It's where the back window curves around. Kindof right at the corner, right above the fuel door. Was wondering if anybody else had such a gap. It's a gap between the rubber insulation and the glass. I guess it's not really a problem b/c the rear window is actually sealed deeper inside. Any thoughts?

No problem here. Gaps are consistent all the way around.

It bugs the crap out of me also. But like I said, I guess it's not a problem since that's not a tight water seal place anyway. Did you ask your service guy about it? I don't think it would be an easy problem to fix, and I think if the dealer tried to fix it he'd just make it worse.
