Question Body Panel Adhesive Problems?

Just wondering if anyone else was having problems with the plastic body panels. There is an adhesive gasket at the visible seams and on my GX, on many of the panels, you can clearly see where the panels are seperating from the body, especially the panel flares over the rear wheels. If you press in on the panel it momentarily will adhere back to the body but then pulls away again (like the adhesive has failed), and you can still see places where the gasket adhesive is still stuck to the body. The Lexus tech said it might be because of the heat, and they have ordered new gaskets for all the panels. Although it's been a hot summer here in San Diego, I'm sure it has been hotter in many other places.

Anyone else seen this?

Thanks,
Tony
