I saw that there is a little gap in the side skirt or the rocker panel? I'm wondering if this is normal or maybe it got lifted up improperly? Please let me know if you guys have this gap or not.
This picture is with rear door open looking down at rocker panel

Didn't have time to check last night, but I do have the gap as well. Forgive me as my car is dirty right now, just got through some rain and it actually snowed last night! I'm so done with winter.

I just feel like that whole area of the car was poorly designed. so many weird angles and shapes

Yeah this car has terrible and uneven gaps every where. Everything moves when you push on it. The trunk hatch gap is like 1cm wide lol. Mine had a gap there too.

OPs fitment looks normal to me.

If there was no gap the side skirt would be rubbing against the paint on the rocker panel/chassis. It's noticeable because the sideskirt transitions from 'beside the rocker panel' to 'below the rocker panel' in that area. When you look from above like in the OP's photo there is a gap which then disappears as the skirt transitions to 'below the rocker panel'. If you crouch down and look from the side the opposite is true - there is no gap towards the rear, then a gap appears.

I see the gap right there. It's just more obvious in the OP's photo because of the photo angle (looking almost directly down) and the fact you can see the ground illuminated through it.
