Indention on dash

What is 'this' and who is 'we'?

 

Sweet, fishing hooks to the face when the airbags go off.

 

You should know the answers by now

 

Hmmmm. Maybe......

 

Yea. He didn't understand either.

 

He made an IED

 

True that. Cleansing energy lol

 

Sure, that is stupid, but it's all about the "love charge".

 

Darwin’s exceptions

 

Fixed it for ya.

 

Commonly referred to in the plastics industry as "Sink" , plastic molds are actually built oversized so that when the part cools it shrinks down into shape.
When you have a flat surface and you have different features and different thicknesses the plastic will shrink different amounts causing "sink marks".
Some of this "engineered out" in the mold and part design but variations in batches of plastic resins, colorants and process speeds, pressure curves and temps can exaggerate these sink marks as well as a few other variables.

Using glossy stuff like (Yuck) Amour-All will only highlight it even more.

That's not the worst I've seen, but also not the best either. Because of the airbag and some of the supporting features in that area it will be always prone to sink marks.

With a hell of a fight you MAY get a Factory rep to authorize replacement as more of a courtesy maybe.... but it may be more frustration than it's worth. If they did change out the dash, you also run the risk of squeaks, buzzes and rattles as all the plastic clips etc on the modern vehicles don't like being "excersized". Have a look at some other Tacoma's at the dealer and compare how your's looks to theirs in the same lighting and angle.

 

Just wait until you notice the airbag seams in the steering wheel. Hahahaha!

 

Great explanation.

I agree with you, but anytime you wash a light at a very harsh angle across thickness variations, those are going to show up.

The better design is to hide the seams with surface features and details. But then, this is just a truck. I came to understand the function and learned to ignore it.

 

No; the face needs a modarylic blend cut followed by a polyester acrylic buff

 

Get used to it

It’s a truck

A lot of external dents

 

OP, don't listen to all those dufuses. Under the dashboard, in that area, is a bag of candies. To get it you must smash the truck into a wall.

 

Lol .. you have to be trolling... I cant imagine anyone actually being unaware of what that is...


Edit: @AUWDE54
Jk. I Have no room to talk. Im not the most technically Intelligent individual when it comes to mechanical things myself. But if you need information on buying trading financing or anything else dealership wise Im your guy! Lol


Welcome to Tacomaworld! Happy to have ya

 

I like this reply better than mine... do this one

 

You'll get rug burn with that if you got into a accident.
