Seam sealer problem

Anyone’s hood looks like mine dealership said that there’s nothing to worry about and it totally normal
2018 trd off road 6,000 miles

 

Was a big problem back with 2016’s and maybe a few 2017’s but haven’t heard of it on an 18. Obviously a defect. Looks like yours isn’t an adheasion issue but the welds

Associated with hood vibration. There is a TSB out. Im waiting til my 5k check to bring it up, mine looks just like yours (2018 SR5).

 

In reference to your username. A fellow POG?

Mine is the same, why they would glue a hood on is beyond me. 18 trd off-road. Maybe it's a cement thing. I have 1200 miles and mine is separating at a few places, noticed when I was looking for mounting points for work lights. Same spot as yours as well as the other side. You can see the whole hood flex when you open it. All really thin flexy metal

 

it's spelled PAWG.
