2017 Subaru Outback 4dr Wagon

256-horsepower 3.6L H6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD

15000 mi Roof rails were not sealed by the rubber seals 
13000 mi A piece of trim on the right front door was coming loose. The dealer fixed it under warranty while the car was in the shop for a scheduled oil change. 
100 mi Driver rear quarter glass, one closes to the rear, has 2 deep scratched and 1 fine hairline crack. I was cleaning my car one month and 50 miles after delivery & noticed the scratches. I do not drive this car often & it is the only car in my garage with nothing else inside it that can cause this. Subaru is known for glass problems so this is not surprising.
