Rust on doors

Has anyone else experienced this?
Rust on front doors where the front pillar metal trim meets the top of the door.
Isn't this a manufacturing fault, fitting 2 painted metal parts close together, which then rub and cause corrosion?
See attached photos.

You'd have difficulty claiming that as a manufacturing fault on a 10+ year old vehicle.

Don't Landrover have a 12 year anti-corrosion warrantee, like BMW?
The whole issue with corrosion is that it happens very slowly and gradually....
Is there any way to remove this trim without any damage, to repair this awkward corrosion, or is the trim glued in place?

Cheers

No, 5 year anti perforation warranty, here in UK anyway. Perforation must be from inside.
