Hi folks.
I have a Qashqai J11 facelift, 2019.
I have a question about the seals. I've circled in red the areas of concern in the photos.
Firstly is the seal near the top corner of the windscreen, it seems to have been pushed in and may not be providing a water-tight seal anymore.
Secondly is the gutter seal that appears to be glued to the windscreen in other places, but seems to have come loose (maybe warped in sunlight).
I do have plans on getting these windscreen seals replaced, but does anyone know if water getting in these gaps could cause problems? I believe these gaps (particularly the one where the wiper attachments are) have been there ever since I bought it 3 months ago and I've never really noticed.
The pictures are of the top-left corner of the passenger windscreen trim, and the gutter-type seal near the wipers.

Yep, never had any water getting in mine either - even though twice the rubber seal at the top of the windscreen has come loose and was flapping about....
sealed with a dab here and there of black sealant by a windscreen repairman....
No problems since...

thanks for your replies, guys.
For everyone who might be interested.... I did a water test and poured water in both the warped windscreen base trip (near the wipers) and the top corner part of the windscreen seal. I can confirm it drains to the proper outlet at the bottom near the wheels.
