When I had my 2024, I never took it in for that. Didn't have the problem, so didn't care. I personally think the roof crack is a bigger issue.

It's not super confidence inspiring that the example weld is on par with my skills.

I assume that since my truck was built in May of 2024, this does not apply to me.

They stitched it to keep it from warping. Long term...No paint coverage on the inside of the weld. This is just an unmitigated disaster....You'd be better off acidentaly dropping a molotov cocktail in the cabin and roasting weenies on it, before your insurance buys it.

Yeah, I'm guessing you'll be able to identify the corrected trucks by the rust stain on the roof or the headliner after a few years.

Unfortunately, welds on sheet metal never look to good. They are basically spot welds. Then they get cleaned up.
