Rear window trim difference on aspec

So I noticed the other day that the rear outside window trim molding on my aspec is textured while the texture on the
rest of the car is smooth does anyone else have this. To me it just looks off like it was a mistake, it’s on both the driver and passenger rear doors but the front is smooth.

This is the driver side, with the textured on the back door




This is the passenger s side with the texture in the rear door also



new side trim



Also a side not I put on the side molding today, took about an hour and a half, was pretty easy if you follow instructions, I think it looks pretty darn good, I live at an apartment so I’m hoping this saves me from door dings, already have a scratch on the side

Must be a problem on the window trim....mine is smooth all the way around. Like the side molding. I did my own on my Land Rover and it kinda looks like...I did it. Don't know that i want to tackle another but want to get it.

It's vinyl trim . Looks like a manufacturer's defect. Take it in!

I looked at mine last night and saw the rear driver side door wasn’t smooth and had the textured look too. The other three doors were smooth.

Just checked mine and all 4 doors have an equal bit of texture while the rear window trim is smooth. Not really enough difference to notice unless you were to be looking for it but it is there.

I finally had it replaced under warranty today (as I had them check out the brake squeal while in there). So they’re all smooth now, no more mismatched eggshell textured trim.
