    I noticed these stress cracks on my drivers A-pillar. Has anyone else noticed them and is that normal?

    Those don't look like stress cracks. Looks like plastic seams from the molds. My truck should be in next week so I can't go look but I've seen those types of lines in every vehicle I have ever owned.

    10-4, just looked out of place.
    No drag on my fingernail so not serious (yet) but then again if they are made that way they aren’t uniform?

    Yeah, they're called knit lines. Where two plastics meet. Normal.

    An A-pillar grip that looks so cheap, it’s easy to assume it may be defective from the factory. Hopefully they replace these with a real handle after the refresh.

    Functionally, it doesn’t work very well, so best just pretend it’s not there.

    I just took a look at my passenger front oh-shit-handle. Those are absolutely just mold marks.
