TSB:Aluminum Door Panel Trim Dented by Seat Belt Latchplate

I managed to get dealership changed two door trims for me. However, after I got my car, I immediately found that some kind of squeak/click noise from driver's door side when running on bumpy road. When I press the new aluminium trim a bit hard, it squeaks. Then I found the door panel wasn't assembled properly. It had a huge gap between panels that I can fit my fingertip. I brought it back twice to get the gap completely fixed. And now the squeak is even louder...I'm really frustrated and almost gave up on dealer's capability to fix the noise issue!

When they first fixed my trim, the driver side trim was not seated all the way. So I emailed my advisor and I took the car back to the dealer and the tech fixed it correctly the second time. I didn't notice any damage other than the trim not sitting correctly the first time.

I'm in the market for a 2015 gs350 f and every one i looked at had this very issue. even one with only 19k miles had beat up trims! It looks like the tsb is for 2013 and 2014. Are the 2015's eligible?

thanks for all the info provided in this thread, I wasn't able to get the dealer to replace these but it wasn't too difficult to do it myself once I source the parts online.
