^^Damn. thats pretty bad man. Mine is a old 99' that gets abused & driven daily & mine isn't doin that. And I even leaned my fatass on the dahs to maks the windshield off when I dyed the dash.
Wonder what causes this? Maybe a loose bolt? Wonder if it can be fixed by taking the dash loose, moving back into place & torquing the **** outta the bolts holding it in place?

That's what I would try. It's worth a shot anyway eh? The thing is if you torque the **** outta it, it's definitely gonna crack something..it never ends..

Mine can't be from torque, I've only got a stock V6 
Who wants to take apart their dashboard to find the cause and fix for this?
I would except it is winter and I'm at school. Tearing my dashboard apart in a parking lot in 20 degree weather isn't too good of an idea.

no u dont have to pull the dash to get to it. i dont have a camera at the moment but i can try and describe this to the best of my ability
remove the dash pad and u will see where the top mounting points (small hex screws) are along the top of the dash
i focused on the last screw on the passenger side and bent up on the lip. kept bending til my dash was snug up against my A-pillar trim piece
