Slight build issues

First off I'm loving my SE but I noticed just a couple of small problems. My hood/left fender or headlight assembly is a little mis-aligned and there is a tiny bit of corrosion or dirt under the paint on the right rear door. Minor things but now that I have seen them I can't stop noticing them.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had warranty work done on the body for minor imperfections other than the tail light issue that seems to be floating around?

Also, did/should the dealer give you a loaner vehicle while the work is being done? Considering that I shouldn't have to go without a car because of an issue with the production. I don't know if the dealer is trying to give me the run around or not. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ive had warranty work done due to paint/clear coat problems...

just roll down to the dealer point it out and get it fixed...
my truck was redone like 3x

1 clear coat pealed
2 run in the clear
3 noticed orange peal during me waxing the truck

and all this started because a bird crapped on my truck... blah
