Mine was also a 2/19 build. The passenger door has no sealer and of the other 3 that have sealer, 2 of them have the sealer on the bottom where most of the sealer has totally missed the seam, it runs just below the seam near the bottom edge of the door. I wish I would have never seen this thread.
Hi Folks,

My build date was 2/22 and I have no seam sealer on any of my doors... Not being a body engineer, I am puzzled by this that some have it and some do not...

Early May build as well. Just checked all 4 doors as I had only checked the driver side before. Guess my truck is a freak as all are sealed and it is smoothly done.

Just checked my supercrew and I also have one door without sealer, the front passenger door. So much for quality control.
Sorry to hear! And the seam sealer is missing off just one door? Mine is missing off all 4

The Tacoma has had some issues in the '16 model but no fit and finish problems like paint, hood and fender gaps etc.

Odd because my Lariat crewcab was built 2/19 and all doors have the seal.
That's so crazy that some 2/19's have sealer and others don't!

My build date was 1/10/19 and my doors do not have the seal. Would this have been a robotic application? If so, maybe the person responsible for keeping the robot supplied with sealer didn't have a great attendance record.

Correct, or the machine could have ran empty...
