Default Gap in roof seam

I’ve noticed a small gap starting to open up along the roof seam Gasket on the passenger side of the car. I am able to push down the body work (just above the door) and close the gap. It moves about 1/32 of an inch. I can easily slide a credit card in the gap and it goes a long way in. I’m concerned it going to turn into a water / dirt trap, who knows what might happen. What do you think my recourse could be? Would Nissan fix a problem like this?
Anyone else have this problem?

I got the same problem. Dealer told me I'd have to leave the car with them for a day to check it out. I'll get it checked when I bring my car in for the pulling to the right thing.

Nissan should fix this as part of regular warrantee work. The body panel over the door is a plastic piece. either glued or clipped in place.
