Passenger Air Bag

Has anyone noticed the passenger air bag seams showing on their dash? These are the seams that are designed to split in the event the passenger air bag has to deploy. I can see them on the top of the dash just above the curve toward the clove compartment.

I don't remember noticing them when the car was new but now I can see them showing a little bit. I am keeping a watch to see if it gets worse.

If it becomes more visible then I will take it in for the dealership to look at.

I wondered what that was. My wife noticed it and I assumed it was where a label of some kind was located and then removed. I was about to try to wash it off.

I could be wrong but their has to be a way for the airbag to get out of the dash. I don't think the entire dash is going to lift up for it.

How noticiable is it on your car??

It's no big deal, and now that I know what it is, I'll forget about it.
