Default Fine wire protruding from left rear light

Brand new car, got back from detailer and noticed it at home. He noticed it too. Gave a slight tug didn’t budge. Looked at it and seemed to go along the upper edge of the light. Any ideas? Pictures attached

Hard to concentrate with those legs ...

Perhaps it's a bristle from a brush that got wedged there?

The minute I uploaded the picture I regretted the shot.

I'll try try to get another picture but it looks more that just protruding one. It has a wire feel but it could be a bristle. I emailed the detailer prior to posting here and he said he noticed it and would contact the dealer.

Clip? Try Pull? Dealer seems silly.

First day driving the car home, it was fabulous.

Glad there's a "thread" about this

Certainly looks like a brush bristle. Any chance the dealer took it through an automatic car wash?

I’m starting to think that. I asked them to not wash the car or place a front license plate. 1/2 isn’t bad.

Better take it back to dealer and get another car. Who knows what else might happen to this one.

No he treated it like it was his prized possession.
And the guy washing it felt he was overcompensated for the privilege.
