Quality control on a car at this price point needs to be much, much better IMO. Rgds.

Well clearly it isn’t supposed to line up as if you look at the dark colour trim area on the right it’s significantly shallower than the dark colour on the left. So it’s a deliberate design decision.

OFC it should have lined up. why would LR design otherwise. Suggest you refer back to your dealer.
