Normal or not? Window seal.

[Predation]

Curious to read what peoples opinions are.
Unfortunately I had opened driver side door during a sw update. The window didn’t inch down and I pulled it open.
Checked for damages and there doesn’t seem to be any.

But while looking for possible damages, noticed the seal right under the trim (where the top of the window touches when closed) looked cracked or creased.

Took a look around the other parts by the passengers doors and it looks like it’s all around the vehicle.

Compared to the wife’s Y and hers had none.

Messaged my tech bud and he said to just bring it in for inspection and most likely a warrantable fix.

Set an appt to get it fixed, but curious to see what people think

I’m just afraid that the integrity of its function is compromised.

Opinions?

I'd say that is definitely a defect in the rubber.

any wind intrusion or noise?

Request service, and mobile tech will come and replace. I will have to check mine as well

No noticable wind intrusion or noise, but just concerned of the integrity of the part.

Just checked out mine. Initially it looks like OP's picture with line of crack, but upon close inspection with a magnifier, it is line of crease caused by the top of the window glass pushing up the rubber seal upward causing the rubber seal folding . The rubber seal is very soft and I can see that it might not last long. The crease disappears if you leave the door open a few minutes after the rubber seal recovers from the folded state.
I will definitely check monthly and request service before the warranty period expires. 4 years or 50k miles

Appreciate the response. Good that yours disappears. I don’t see mine disappearing.

Fwiw. I have another in-house y to compare. Other Y

I noticed the same creased foam seal for the RH Rear Door and the Service Center determined it was normal. This is due to the windows majority of the time being fully closed and the creases come from the window pressure.

Probably best not to mention how you caused it when in for service...

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah that’s why I ask my tech personally. Helps that I hooks these guys up with solid gear from my company. guaranteed loaner too all the time.
