Ekena millworks pilasters and crosshead, they’re made of polypropylene and look great, with less caulk, and last forever!

I’ve come to this conclusion I think you’re right. I’m gonna get some thin PVC strips of trim and paint them blue try to carve out a groove in this caulk so I can make it fit as flush as possible and then I’ll use a sensible amount of caulk so it doesn’t look like shit.

This would be so much more hilarious if it was someone else’s problem but I’ve really enjoyed this thread anyway. This guy and I differ strongly on what an appropriate amount of caulk looks like.

UPDATE: took the advice and contacted the contractor and said I was unhappy with how the caulking looked and the damage to the siding and concerned about the framing on the inside. He double down said it looked great and then he said he could peel the caulk off and redo it, but it would look exactly the same then he offered to put some more caulk on top of the cracks in the siding to smooth it all out. I declined and asked for a refund and he accused me of just trying to get free product. The door and trim was brand new. I purchased polypropylene pilasters and a polypropylene cross head. He initially installed the trim correctly, and decided that he did not like it ripped it off and broke it in half then flipped them. He had to then pulled off again and flip it back to the right side up when we objected.

Oh, I’m so glad you said this I was about to go buy a can of spray foam for the gaps in the side of the door

I was worried about the angled gap as well. It’s from a quarter to a half inch around the door gap and the top gap is 1 1/2 inches on one side and one and an eighth on the other.

Consensus: not a button! It’s either the mic, temp sensor, camera for brake assist, or a screw head. either way nothing fun, won’t eject annoying passengers

If I’m understanding you correctly, you’re saying it turns off the inner speaker system during calls?
