    We recently got my 99 Grand Prix GT and when we got it, the dash panel was off slightly because they had taken the aftermarket radio out. I noticed that the dash panel wasn't meeting all the way at the top of the dash. However, I thought it was due to it not being properly in all the way. So after my vigorous cleaning, I put it back in and here's the same issue. So I'm thinking the sun may have warped the dash a little because the front tip is curled up as you can see.
    And yes, the dash panel is in correctly with all clips on (I went to the junk yard just to find those clips). Here it is:




    Has anyone had this problem before? Obviously, the car was in the sun a lot. But is there any easy fix or anything??

    Thanks!

    Yeah mine does this. I don't know of any fix for it though. And yeah, my car was sunbaked too. There is a crack in the vinyl part of my dash near the vents, and then this problem.

    Yea, I have a couple of cracks on the vinyl covering of the Passenger Air Bag. I'd really like to get that fixed actually...I have a thread about it in the Detail subforum with pics.
