The door molding on the passenger side is now over 1 inch pulled away from the window because of heat. The door molding may cause issues when/if the airbags are deployed. Now two other doors are having the same issue but not as large of a gap between the window and molding.
Unknown, plastic around window frame is popping off. I believe it to be due to heat however was advised it may cause side air bag deployment issues. After googling I found this to be a known issue
