Is my car the one with worst paint job and service center help?

Very nice. Do you know what they did to repair the weatherstripping gap between trunk and rear bumper?

They said they removed and reinstalled rear facia and adjusted seal but if you look at picture, weather seal looks different to me.

It looks wider. That’s why it’s probably covering the gap better.

Yikes! I have the same gap as well ... too late to fix? (it's been 4 months now)

Good question. I’m not sure, but I’d think the warranty would still cover it but I’m leaving mine alone for the time being unless it becomes an issue.

Wonder if this new seal will be better at catching water running off the back window?

Great to hear that they did a good job in making this right. So many horror stories…good to see a happy ending for once.

I will say that at this point in the year this is basically your only option. Rejecting a car at the end of November is basically toying with fate in terms of whether you get another car before year end (especially for those of us on the East coast).

Yea, looks like they 'adjusted' that seal with a new wider seal...

It looks like it is the original seal but they didn’t “tuck” the lip of the seal behind the metal body.
