A pillar trim gap advice needed

Hi there,

I brought my MCS into the dealer because I had a small gap between the vertical A-pillar exterior trim (the black plastic) and the gutter trim that goes around the roof of the car. The gap was between 1/16" and /8". I have not seen the car yet since it is still at the dealers. But they told me that they fixed "as best as they could" but the gap is still there a little bit.

My question is this.....can water getting in there do any harm? Or is this just a cosmetic problem?

I will push the issue more if water getting in there can cause any problems (like the "Christine effect". But if it is purely cosmetic, I won't press it too much (assuming it looks ok)

Thanks!
