Question Exterior rubber trim below side backseat windows

Ran a search but couldn't find anything. Has anyone noticed an odd look to the rubber trim just below the side windows (for the backseat) (the small ones). Where the rubber meets the body, mine has a few spots where it looks like someone tried to shove a screwdriver below the rubber trim. First there was one, then two, etc... It doesn't look terrible, well, yes it does but it's tough to notice unless you're looking right at it. It's NOT an actual screwdriver concern, just tough to describe. It's natural forming because it's on both sides, only affecting the bottom of the rubber trim iteself, and I've noticed it developing since day 1. Weird.

My car is garaged both at the office and at home.

Thanks.

P.S. I just reset my ECU last night. I have awoken a slumbering beast.

Rubber

I will look into the rubber, but how did you reset the ECU and why?

Thanks for checking on that for me. Look for a small 'dimple' of sorts in the base of the rubber trim beneath the window (where the rubber meets the paint).

I reset my ECU because I believe it to 'learn' a driver's behavior. Since I was taking it easy for the first few thousand miles, I thought I'd give it a shot in order to better manage my new driving style (which is much harder since she's broken in). It worked well and I've noticed my throttle response is much quicker.

Anyway, here's how to do it. For MT's, just depress and hold the clutch as well. Do the first post at this link: https://g35driver.com/forums/faq-diy/6538-ecu-resets.html
