I have a service appointment in January to address a couple of items. I noticed a gap at the top of the liftgate and have that on my list (pic 5 and 6). Looking at the roof more closely, those additional gaps look suspicious.

As the title says...am I over thinking it?

A couple of those look pretty bad. I'd get them fixed.

My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
Definitely add them to your SC visit. You’re not overthinking it - several are pretty bad.

Dammit! I just picked up my R1S 4 days ago and I check all alignment… except for the roof near the liftgate. I guess I will have to do a service visit now. Left is flush and right is off by a lot lol.

Can this even be adjusted?

I have the exact same issue and it is also the right side popping up a bit, exactly as in your picture. I put in a service ticket for that and a couple other things. Funny thing is I had washed the car a handful of times before my first service appointment and either it hadn’t popped up like that yet or I somehow didn’t notice it. A couple days after my service appointment last month I washed it and instantly noticed it, so I can’t help but feel it is something that came loose over time. Anyways I am sure Rivian will fix it and it seems like a piece of plastic trim, I haven’t seen any issues from it like water intrusion so I think it is cosmetic.

I had flagged the liftgate gaps at pickup and they seemed to think that it could be adjusted.
I’m actually more worried about the gaps by the windshield and on the sides now.

Would you mind sharing what yours look like?

My windshield and sides are good. Literally just the panel where the antenna in the rear is. I will say the bottom of the silvery trim doesn’t match up with the windshield trim but I’m wrapping those black anyway.

edit: seem like the side silvery trim not matching the windshield on the bottom is intentional. Only the tops match up on the 5 R1S photos I just googled.

Did they fix this? My right side also pops out a bit. If this is purely cosmetic I am not sure how much I care. Thanks
