I took my rear head rests out to clean my rear window, and noticed the absolute terrible job someone did installing this window and am wondering weather this is worth going to the dealership over to get this fixed or if they will even fix it as im concerned it might develop into a issue later on

As long as it doesn't leak I don't see the issue. If it leaks then there's a issue.

I highly doubt most dealers will mess with it if it's not leaking, removing the rear window just to make it look appealing could possibly cause an issue or a leak and might be on your dime.

Your post made me go look at mine. Mine looks exactly like yours and the exact same spot. I wonder if there’s something underneath there that causes that to happen?

Did you flip the seat back forward to look closer? Is this an adhesive seal, not rubber formed? It could simply be where the robot placing the adhesive overlaps and causes it to push upwards. Of course I will have to go look at mine now :unsure:
You know what? I don't think it is trim or adhesive. I think it's some sort of wiring protruding. I tried pushing it down but there is definitely something behind it.

I have a ‘23 XL. Mine looks about the same. Well tucked in, except for a few inches behind the passenger side head rest. I pressure wash my truck frequently, and I’m not aware of any leakage.

By the way, “I’d rather be …”?

Im sure the Mexican making 3$ an hour is super concerned about the quality and aesthetic of this seal...
Damn, you can’t say that here! Shh, we are being monitored
