So I just noticed this lower molding piece on rear window coming up? Warranty issue obviously...not like it on passenger side...question is I have window deflectors on should I take them off or risk them breaking them off.....?

Honestly I don't think I would take that in unless it was a lot worse. The amount of disassembly to replace that could lead to other issues with other trim pieces.

Yes, you pay a lot for theses Truck's, but if that's all you have issues with I would leave it.
I bet 75 % of Ranger owners have some fit and finish issues that drive them crazy. Ford always seems to have fit and finish problems. When it comes time to purchase a 6G Ranger I am going to look over it thoroughly before accepting it. Not sure how much power you have to not accept it. Things like the plugs missing in the rocker panels.

Is it coming up or is it just poor fitment/part design to begin with? It won't help you much if they replace it with an identical part that also doesn't fit well because it's the same shape. I'll check mine the next time I go out.

Well, ya made me go look!

And, yes, my 2019 Crew Cab Lariat's driver's side rear door's window corner trim is a bit more lifted than on the passenger side.

So, what would I do?
Frankly, I don't know what anyone could do.
It's just a molded trim piece. No reason to think a new one would fit any better.
So, I'll just stop looking at it (since you brought it to my attention), and enjoy driving this pretty nice truck.
But, that's me.

It seems raised like it's coming up maybe some. 3m tape will secure it....

I have the same issue with my trim, too.

I only really notice it when I wash the truck.

I agree with other owners that I am afraid it could cause more issues if it is messed with.
