Exterior window trim gap with seal above B-pillar

[VWNCC]

Hi All:

I am just wondering if anyone can post close-up pictures of the gap between the exterior window trim and the seal above the B-pillar for the rear door.

I find the gap to be quite a bit bigger than the gap of the front door. I am just wondering whether this is normal.

Thank you very much in advance.

Just realised mine is the same. Both sides. Hopfully someone else will come along and confirm if there's is the same or not.

Took this of mine earlier, mines a saloon if it makes any difference. I thought they were held in place by screws or rivets so makes me wounder how it could slide down

Saloon.

Someone on another forum posted the picture with the angle that showed exactly what I have as well, so it is probably normal.

Ah I see what you mean now. I'll have a look at mine tomorrow and see if mines like that, I thought you ment the gap like my photo. Both rear door trims have a little gap whereas the 2 front doors don't.

Can you check and see if your trims are like mine ??

Yup, mine is like yours too in the front.

I have done the crazy thing and checked out many saloons in the dealership. There is quite a bit of variability...it feels like the gap design tolerance isn't super tight.
