Maybe. It's not a defect though, likely, so if so, it will be a courtesy.

What tore it?

I dunno, I thought warranty covered defects, not abuse, and if it didn't arrive torn, it WAS torn, and that means the warranty should cover busted windshields from rocks and flat tires from nails, and it don't.

Definitely a gray area, but bumper to bumper warranty usually covers all but wear items (windshield wipers, tires, brake pads) although if your brake pads wear out too soon, you probably have case.
As for the torn weatherstrip - if your jacket with the broken zipper snagged it and ripped it, then no it is not covered. But if it froze and tore as others experienced with the 17/18 model, then it will likely be covered at least once. If it is considered a design defect it is often covered.
Dealers like to get paid, and if it looks like warranty, they usually put it through. If it looks like abuse they won't.
I have had a cracked windshield covered before. Huge temperature drop one day, next morning walked into garage and it was cracked, no chips anywhere. Dealer covered it no problem.

Exactly. Most decent dealers will cover you because they know if they do, you're probably a lot more likely to come back...and maybe buy your next vehicle there, too.

Not sure on CX-5. Many years ago I tried to replace the weather seal on liftgate of my 1987 VW Vanagon, it was $200+ for OEM parts!
