Tail light gaps

So i have. Gap at the top passenger sidetail light. Toyota want to replace the whole bed side !!! To fix the tail light. More recently I noticed the drivers side is starting to gap as well. Before i give them my truck. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue?? Thanks. Jason.

 

Welcome to the site.

Can you please post a pic of what you are referring to?

 

Mine looks the same way, are you sure it isn’t this way just by design?

 

I have no idea what we're supposed to be looking at

 

The corner of the tail light where it comes to a point. There is a gap between it and the beside.

 

To me , looks like they light is cut spot on but the seal strip is a touch off.

Not sure this one is to complain about unless moisture is penetrating the lens.

that’s just from the pics though , so could be off if it looks different live

 

Looks fine to me. If you have a Gen 3 and this is the only problem, you hit the lotto my friend.....trust me, I'm getting put through the wringer with this truck!

 

^ Post of the day..

 

The taillight comes to a sharp point that the body can’t make, mine looks the same there’s no problem be happy

 

Feels like a stretch to complain about that. I agree with the others, if you have to look this hard to find an issue than you got a good one. I wouldn't let the dealer touch it. It can get worse!

 

thats a weather seal issue. it looks like the weather seal at the point retracted. might want to look to see if the weather seals was properly latched to the light assembly at the point. there should be a very small notch for the seal to wrap around to keep the seal in place (i am speculating)

 

I got to see another example yesterday. Looks like a common defect in my opinion. Thanks for your input. Need a couple more pictures to share with the dealer. If someone could take similar pictures I would appreciate. Thank you all.
I will share the positives of owner this 3 rd gen. Or turd gen. Hahahah

 

Im going to have to check it out myself. They scratched my truck last time they were messing with fitment

 

maybe you are onto something, my truck has a big gab like yours, looks nothing like the gray one in that pic.

 

I have window trim gap too

 

I had my passenger side back door replaced and my front doors replaced. The front doors were fixed but the back gasket is still a problem

 

Here's mine it looks worse when you take close up picture compared to stay away from it and just looking at it.

 

You’d be a fool to have them replace a bedside over that. Cutting grinding and welding done by the low a man on the totem poll because warranty work doesn’t pay well enough for the top guys to mess with.

 

Exactly why i put the brakes on the dealer. Its a plastic bedside. Bolt on now. But the mounting point is not even part of the bed.
