2021 C6 of the Year Finalist - Modified

Default Visable air bag indentation on dash (pic)

This is really a hard photo to take so you can see what were talking about here. This is the best I can do ...

See that line that marks the location of the air bag under the dash cover in the photo below.

This is my 2011 GS with Ebony interior. You can only see this line in certain lighting conditions.

Anyone else see this on there late model C6?

I have it on my o5 but not my 08. I'd take it in if my car was under warranty. It's crappy to look at but I chalked it up to the early production year

I have a 2010 GS, not that it matters. The "H" shows up better in the picture than the naked eye.

I have the same line on my 2011 GS w/Ebony interior. I've never thought anything about it.

normal! but are you sure you want to go down the road of having your ENTIRE dash removed? might create more problems than it is worth. The only way i would do it is to upgrade to a 4lt dash

Removing the entire dash could cause more damage, squeaks and rattles.

Don't have it on my 05. I would worry that the fix might be worse than the existing problem.

It's really no big deal to me .. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this on there car.

Again, it's only under certain lighting conditions that it's noticable.

"You can only see this line in certain lighting conditions."

I think most C6s have this line if you look at a certain angle or under certain lighting conditions. I wouldn't worry about it and I certainly wouldn't want my dash replaced. I would drive the car and enjoy it and avoid certain lighting conditions.

I had the “H” pattern on my 08 coupe. Got the entire dash replaced about a year ago. Fortunately no squeaks or rattles. But, the “H” is back! Draw your own conclusions.
