    I installed heat rejecting tint to hopefully minimize the progression of this, but am wondering if all of you have some aspect of this imprint on your passenger dash over the airbag.

    Or is your dash pretty smooth without any impressions? In the picture it looks somewhat like an envelope

    That looks really bad. Perhaps it’s a bad photo…can you post another picture.

    I had that on my 458, but mine was worse- there was a 3rd line where the lines of the 'V' met, effectively making a 'Y'. It drove me nuts.

    Did you do something recently to make your car angry?

    (Sorry I couldn't help myself when I saw it)

    But I did have similar happen on the 458 albeit not as visible as yours, I had my detailer steam and smooth it out and after conditioning it it seemed to go away. May be able to give that a try first?

    For what it’s worth I had a California T with indents on the leather. I used a heat gun and some conditioner and it smoothed out.

    I have it on the 458. I believe it is where the plastic below is scored to pop upon airbag deployment.

    Also the leather may be skived at this location.
