Headlight Fitment Issues?

Anyone else notice certain spots on the our headlights don't sit quite right? The two spots on mine are pointed out below and affect both headlights and I feel like there is more play in the headlights then there should be. These areas stick out past the panels and always get caught on when I washing or drying. Affect anyone else?

Yes - I noticed this today when I washed the car on both the headlights and tail lights. Some of the gaps are larger than others, but mine aren't so bad. I find the loose fitment of the hood to the front bumper with the exposed weatherstripping to be much more of an eyesore.

The hood is technically adjustable in almost every way, but loosening and retightning the bolts to get a perfect fit can be difficult. At least the height of the hood can be adjusted to the level of the adjacent fender by simply turning the black rubber bumpers on the car body just under both front corners of the hood.

Everything should have been properly adjusted before the car left the factory, and anything the factory missed should have been caught by the dealer. But then this isn't a perfect world.
