Trim along window shrunk?
has anyone noticed that the trim peice that contacts the windows on the outside doesnt seem to be long enough to cover the entire door?
mine seem to have about half inch gap from going all the way to the end of the door. the halo covers most of it when the door is closed but it really doesnt look right to me. there is a large gap i can see right down into the door.
has anyone noticed if this is true of a brand new car?
i got mine a couple years old from texas where its hot. i suspect the heat may have caused it. i would like to replace but i want to make sure the new peice will be an improvement and its not just a design flaw.
thanks

Warranty it.
It is rubber and heat will shrink it.
Also the "finish" will wear in time...can use Back to Black treatment.
I always use Die Electric and the finish still clouded so to say.
C5 had the same shrink issue...I could call this seal a 5 year wear item...yet, definitely warranty item.

i cannot imagine that part costs that much.
