Windows Minor annoyance with electric window trim

Hi just a minor annoyance that I thought I would get out in the open.

Does anyone else have the problem that when the electric windows are opened the trim under window seems to "come out" to accomodate the window going into that space? You can notice this quite easily on both front windows of the car.

Yes they do! I have checked it myself! But we cant't say that it's a fault...it is a characteristic of the vehicle!
