Curious if its my OCD or has anyone else see this?

2015 Exp EL limited with rear quarter window Venting. I have removed trim to look at all hardware and all seems right. Actuator works and pulls complete to stopping point. However when you look at the seams on the outside it appears crooked. The glass is resting on the body panel. Also not I live in phoenix and the vehicle is parked outside in the heat which as you could imagine is tough on all sorts of plastic, rubber....

Anyone??

Can you take picture of the whole glass on the rear quarter panel? I want to see the top of the glass also, from one end to the other.

Do you know that it was not previously like this for sure? I am thinking that is just mis-alignment from the factory or a previous body repair. That is unless you are sure it was not previously like that.

I'll share images of our 2011 EL.
I didn't notice anything about the window alignment before, but I may have trouble sleeping now. The lower edge looks fine, but the upper edge of the windows are no where near parallel to the surrounding body.
As far as I know, this vehicle has been in and around eastern Pennsylvania since new (so moderate temperatures in comparison).

It's very possible. I do wash it weekly and in never stood out. A bit of back story. As mentioned I live in the desert and liked using the window to exhaust the hot air in the car when first starting out with the A/C Cranking. So I used them quite a bit. My fear now is that they fall out of the frame. I would assume the glass is glued on the frame and not sure what the temperature failure point is or could it break down in desert heat. Seems unlikely, but not looking to test it. Im not using them anymore for venting.
