Yep, and you can add 14s into that observation as well. It does appear that the door/dash seam mis-match results from assembly variability of the dash. It appears to vary slightly in height when installed, and perhaps they need a new QC check on the proper spec before torquing it down.

I also see a fair amount hood, nose, and side-panel seam variability on all 3 model years. However, that issue is easily remedied under warranty by a good body-shop.

 

I might have been "lucky" that the first owner of my F-type was one of the Senior Directors of Jaguar Germany, and that they made sure he got one without any "flaws"

 

I'm hoping I will have forgotten this thread by the time I get my car out of storage in April. Never looked for these issues, so it never bothered me.

 

I was lucky too with my purchase of a 2014 base, "lot lizard," which has been flawless all around, inside and out.

 

I've run across only minor issues with my 2016. The only obvious workmanship defects I've found are:

A few months ago I discovered, that the top plastic rivet (not really a rivet, but a barbed, press-in fastener) on the door weatherstripping was not in place on either side.

Yesterday, I was looking into why the left headlight seemed to jiggle slightly on rough pavement and found that neither of the two bolts at the rear of the nose piece, directly behind the headlight, was in place. One had fallen down and was captive by the blanking plug in the access hole, and the other is just gone. I'll be stopping by the dealer on my way to work tomorrow.
