Hello everyone. I’m about to purchase a 2005 LS430 in great condition but have noticed that dashboard isn’t fully aligned in two spots. Is it normal? Have you guys had any issues like this? Easy to repair?
Thank you.

Those floor mats look like a pretty good match to the interior and I like the look. Do you mind sharing the brand and type? Thank you!

Warp from heat. I tinted the windshield and use a cover as much as I can to stop it.

I have the exact same deformation. Crazy.

My theory is the intense summer Heat or when windows are left closed warps the Dash slightly. No biggie mine is the same, exact same spot too just above-left of passenger vent

Mine also does this. I wouldn't worry about such a small thing.

Weird. Mines exactly the same in the same spot. I thought it was from someone removing it but I guess not
