Default Dash flaw? Was dusting my dash and noticed...

a straight double line from the right center dash vent (starts about 1/3 from rear) which ends at the right side vent. Can't feel any difference in texture, only a slight visual difference. I will bring it to dearler attention at 10K service. I have a 225TTR that I took delivery of in July of last year. Anyone else notice anything?

Default Possible passenger rear view mirror flaw.

Are there definite lines (ridges?) on the structure itself, not the mirror, like mold marks on anyone else's?

Default It is not noticeable on ours, but I'll bet it is designed for the airbag to break thru the dash.

I have seen some photos of TTR's in junkyards with the airbags deployed, and the passenger side airbag breaks thru the dash about there. I looked to see if I save the pic but I did not.

Almost positive it is from the airbag. I believe NexxTT has this on his as well.

Air bag container is hinged w/micro seam that meshes into the surrounding dash. Mine shows too.

Yep, semi-depressed outline where airbag is designed to release. Not bad - learned to live with it!
