All I saw on the warranty invoice was the replacement of the seal + labour.

They didn't follow the TSB. Bummer.

edit: actually, I may have mixed up my TSBs. I can't find the one that specifically addresses that issue. Hmmm...

Ok, here's the best reference to the change in the switches

I think this is an entirely different scenario lol

I will definitely mention that to the service tech. I have an appt next saturday.

Mines doing same, I have an ext waranty. They said take it in and they'll pay only if window is off track. If it's a trim thing they won't. Will only cover mechanical seal breakdown

I don't think the door seal issue was covered in a TSB. My bad. But I assure you the root cause is excessive window indexing coupled with the window itself closing too tightly against the seal.
@stockysnail, how is yours holding up after you updated the switches?

Mine is working great after I replaced the switches and the door molding. I never switched the molding on the passenger side as it wasn't as bad but it's not getting any worse on that side after the switch. Overall I'm very glad I did it.

I got mine replaced a couple weeks ago... all good for now.
