Update on this? How did things work out?
Thanks for asking. The dealer ended up repainting the entire door, or most of it at least, it wasn't 100% clear what exactly they did. In the process, it sounds like a piece of trim broke that was removed in prep for the paint. This led to a multiweek backorder to get the new trim piece. At this point, given all that was discussed here, I decided to move on from this particular truck.

Coincidentally, I found a Shelter Green one, which was both lower-optioned (preferable for me) and discounted higher than this blue one. This led to an overall difference of about $3k in price and I didn't have to think about this repair.

I picked up the green one last weekend.
