Body part alignments

[Bucknut22]

So I've known there are some alignment issues since I bought my truck and random things that should be covered any warranty, but haven't had time to get it to the dealership, just hasn't been a priority. I now have 11k miles. Do you think they'll still fix these things? My passenger side quarter panel just doesn't line up like my driver side. Not sure if you can tell from the pics. Also, the top of my headlight is foggy and the plastic pieces under windshield wipers is pretty off.

Truck is pretty dirty... 2023 tremor

What has your experience been with getting these things covered?

A reputable dealer should take care of those things, even at this mileage.

The wiper cowl is an extremely common problem, it is pretty pathetic that they are so bad.

The fog in your headlight - does it go away? The headlights are vented and will get a bit of fog inside, but it should evaporate pretty quickly.

Take a peek at your door fitment. Do the front fenders protrude out a bit where they meet the door edge? Are the door frames aligned consistently to the body? Do the doors sit proud or recessed compared to each other or mating body panels? The doors on these trucks are typically piss poor, fitment wise.

Thanks! I'll take a look at the door fitment tomorrow - It's dark here now and getting the kids to bed, but I haven't noticed it. The headlight "fog" does not go away. It's more like a haze. Really not a huge deal, but figured I'd bring it up. I honestly didn't even notice it until I detailed it a couple months ago. a few of these things I can probably fix myself. I took all of the front pieces off my 2016 a few times, but if I can get them to fix it, that's the preferred route.
