So I have had my 2021 Bronco Sport Big Bend almost a year now. I have noticed a rubber gasket sticking out along the top left edge of the handle molding ( see pictures). Has anyone else had this? I plan to show this to my dealer's service department when I take it in for an oil change this week. I could not find a thread on this already. Thanks for reading this

That is definitely unusual. Your dealership should be able to get a new gasket and fix the problem. Now the question is, how long will it take to get a new gasket?

That’s not normal and should be fixed to keep water out of the lift gate.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

Thank you all for your replies. I will show this to my dealer's service department tomorrow. I am confident they will address it as quickly as possible, as I have always had a really good relationship with them. I will post follow-up here.

Nope.
Maybe the Handle was removed for some reason after it was built, and wasn't reinstalled correctly. It somehow made its way out from use of the liftgate.
