Rear window weather stripping defect?

i have noticed that the rear windows roll down and up rather slowly and the passenger side is painfully slow vs the driver side rear. so i took a closer look and on both sides, the exterior weather strip that rests on the glass basically turns inwards and gets tucked/folded in every time you roll the window down. sometimes half of it will stay up, but usually 90-100% is gone and tucked. the window pane is the only thing you can see from the outside when it's rolled down.

once you start rolling up the window, the stripping goes back up to its vertical position again.

has anyone else noticed this? another new model year bug i guess. not sure if it's worth a special trip to have it addressed but it's annoying.

you can see on the adjacent quarter window that doesn't roll down that the stripping is in tact, but then it's totally gone on the big window
