That, along with my off-center passenger side exhaust tip, makes me wonder if anyone else is disappointed in the build quality. I have ZERO rattles, no mechanical issues, just body fitment issues.

Am I alone in this?

Wow....you folks looking for "gaps" would have never have been able to get a wink of sleep if you had been born or old enough to drive in the 60's, 70's and
80's. The cars made in those days never had a panel on the car that wasn't creating some kind of noticeable gap. Fitment in those days would have driven you folks insane!

I have the same type of faint rattle coming from the hatch too. It's almost like the interior plastic surrounding the rear window is constantly making contact with something.

It seems like 50% of the cars have this same rattle.
