3 "issues" I had. Might be nitpicking but the car is 3 months old and was prisitine prior to the accident so:

#1 - Drivers side door sticks slightly on opening. Can't tell whether it's a painting/new gasket problem or something more serious but it definitely pulls on the window when opening the door which I suspect isn't good for that little motor that moves the window in/out when you open and close the door.

#2 - Front spoiler not quite aligned right. On both sides of the spoiler at the very bottom near both wheels there's a small gap between the gray plastic part that makes up the bottom of the spoiler and where the black paint/clearcoat begins.

#3 - They did a shitty job cleaning up the rim scuff. Looks like someone took a blowtorch to it. Finish is rough and does not match the rest of the wheel.

You have a right to nitpick, the car is brand new.

#1 - Spray some silicon lubricant spray on a rag and rub it into all the moldings. If the stick feels more mechanical then it might be the striker plate is slightly out of alignment. If the glass is catching on the door trim then try the window reset procedure.

#3 - If it is not to your satisfaction then I would demand they repaint the entire rim.

This is exactly what it felt like. I left the car there - let me do a quick search on the window reset procedure here and I'll give them a call. Had no idea such a thing even existed o_O

Any time power is removed, i.e. battery disconnected, then the windows will need to be reset.

The procedure is simple, put the car to On position (no need to start).
Window down all the way, hold 5 seconds, up all the way, hold 5 seconds and you should get a flash or a beep (don't remember).
