Default Headlights replaced under warranty, gasket sticks out

The outer edge of my passengers side head light shoes about 1/2 inch of rubber gasket the driver side does not.

Does any one have a picture then can post of what the moldings around the headlight look like, hood open?

Is the gasket trimmed or pushed behind the lights.

I'd like to avoid another trip to the dealer if I can avoid it.

Thanks,
themush

Can this be done at home or is a trip to the dealer recommended.

you're going to the dealer to push a little piece of rubber back behind your headlight assembly?

Its the side where the light meets the plastic, I can't determine how its supposed to be done.

It looks like the housing have to be removed and the gasket reset.

You can see the flap when the hood is shut.

These morons did the same thing to me, I just did it myself. I don't understand how any human could not miss a half inch of rubber sticking out. Chrysler service guys are apes.

Did you just push it behind the light or is there another method?

The stupid moron tech who put your headlights in forgot to put in the rubber. I had the same thing happen and just tucked it in myself. They do this on purpose because they are idiots. Simple as that. I hate them.
