I want to know as well! Drives me bonkers to see that every time I get in my car. In a way I'm glad I'm not the only one with this, because maybe there is a better chance to finding the cause and fix for it.

I have a feeling I have it to but I'm scared to look. If I ignore it then maybe its not there.

You don't man, you don't. Look between your a-pillar and dash. There is a little groove for where the 2 pieces fit together. If yours is nice and snug, your good, if not, well.. It's a pretty significant gap, and quite ugly.

^^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?
