Ambient light / trim gap

M40i017 · 06-30-2020, 08:59 PM

Wondering if anyone has had an alignment issue with any of the ambient lighting on the upper strip of their door?

I will get pictures up soon, but on my driver side there is a noticeable gap on the ends of the light strip, and should be adjusted a few mm to the left to fit well. All my other doors are aligned perfectly. I recently got tints but was told that they only removed a small portion of the door and that it would not have affected the ambient lighting. It was an issue before tints but not sure if they had made it slightly worse.

Nonetheless, wondering if anyone has alignment issues with the strips

Can't help much without pictures, but some people have reported faulty light strips in the past, try using search. In any case, resolved by the dealer through warranty. Seems fairly rare, though.

Attached are the photos. There are two photos of the driver side affected (bottom 2) and another comparison photo (top photo) of the side that it correct.

Is there anyway to easily reposition the light strip without removing interior door panel
