Is it just me, or am I missing something

Gave my one week old Ranger SCAB XLT its first wax and detail this weekend. That's when I noticed that I have no trim between the windshield and the A-pillar. The seam where the windshield is bonded to cab is naked to the world. I know that for decades that windshields have been "glued" in place and the trim is just for show. I was just rather surprised at the lack of cosmetics. Is this one of Ford's infamous "content deletions " or have they always been that cheap all along .

They’re all that way now. Think it helps to keep moisture from accumulation under the trim pieces. It is a pain to keep cleaned out though

That's normal...is your windshield not flush? That's not normal...

The windshield appears to be fine. Actually solid and even and square all around, very good workmanship , fit and finish. I just thought that for 36 grand they could have splurged on 3 bucks worth of plastic trim to finish it off. Thanks for putting my mind at ease none the less.

It's a common automotive practice...have a look in the parking lot at other vehicles...you'll see this is not special...
