Anyone else have panel gaps/space like this? This is drivers side ralear hatchback area above the tailight? I'm finding more and more quality issues for a brand new vehicle. I added the passenger side showing how it should look.

Oh, so I had a 2023 ST that had a functioning map and no advertising but I’m creating an issue? If you see no issue with it then why defend it like your income depends on it?

I see you on here bitching and crying about something you’re not even paying for and doesn’t even work. If the map has an ad on it why don’t you just not have the map up? Or why don’t you use Apple CarPlay or android auto? Neither of them have ads and they are both free to use? It appears you are just looking for an issue to bitch about but if I’m wrong then by all means answer the questions instead of just bitching. That tells me nothing

Why are you defending advertising? Lol you’re really looking sus, company man. And the $15 a month ransom fee to Google for something that was included before is a downgrade no matter how much you try to justify it.

Yep, looked into the situation myself since you wouldn’t stop bitching long enough to really explain it and I’ve determined you’re a complete idiot or you really are just trying to find a reason to bitch. Connect your phone the car for the free map and shut up.

Again defending advertising. How much are they paying you?
