Here is some pictures of the side panel. Is it supposed to bend like this? Couple areas interest me. One if the panel not being straight. But is that me being neurotic or ? Also how’s the gaps? Noticed some stuff between the panel and whatever it’s attached to? My car is barely ever not in the garage sitting outside of driving. Which I thought was weird and maybe before I picked it up?

Gaps are hard to judge from your photo. There’s no reference points or measurements. As far as the wobbliness yes that’s less than ideal.

If you’re within your 100 miles/7 days report it within the app. Even if you’re not and you don’t like it put on a service ticket all they can say is “no,” or “sure ,but it’ll cost you $X.”

Yours looks better than mine. I have oil-canning over both sails; figured it was just par for the course on gen 1 CT.

Definitely not perfect, but within spec!
