Has anyone noticed that the body line for the hatchback does not connect near the rear door? Call me OCD but why is the vehicle designed this way?

Also, is the weather stripping on the rear quarter panel suppose to curve like this?

Not a defect, just part of the design. And the weatherstripping probably got snagged and pulled out slightly when the car was washed or wiped down.

It's odd because it's exactly the same on both sides

My rear panel window molding weatherstrip flare out like that also at the edge. Went to the dealer and got it replace, still does it when i wash the car, just a poor design.

All of my doors top molding trim have the black tape starting to come loose. Getting that replace soon before warranty runs out.

I feel like a lot of the molding on the CivicX's suffer from poor design. Wonder why Honda seems to have dropped the ball on that part.
