I have a similar gap issue but the seal is intact. I'm taking it in Sept 5th for a different issue but will also ask about the gap.
 
I'm not anywhere near a service center - I've contacted them with the above image and they've indicated it's nothing to worry about. Somehow I'm not reassured - I just don't see any path for water

Thanks! I will be interested to hear your feedback.
No problem, I'll let you know what they say.

BTW from what I know, that gap issue is somewhat common and the seal should be an easy fix.
 
Any update on what the service center said about this issue?
The gap is very common, even if you were to replace the entire glass its likely that the gap will exist, thats just how its installed.

If you have an issue with the seal, that should be addressed.

EDIT: I added more info below.

Do you have any water coming through at all? Make sure you verify this under various circumstances (i.e. extreme weather situations).

If you are not near a service center, they should be able to send a mobile unit out to you, especially for this issue since it looks like a somewhat simple fix.

I asked the gentleman fixing my car on Friday and based on the picture he said you should be fine, but in my opinion its a bit of an eye sore and you should check under all situations like I mentioned above.
