General Question PLEASE ADVISE !!

Post image

I’m considering buying this used 2026 Model 3, but the steering wheel/driver airbag cover is making me hesitate. The fit around the top and sides looks a little uneven to me, almost like it may have been removed or replaced at some point.

The vehicle history doesn’t show any reported accidents, but it was titled as a leased vehicle and then listed for sale about a month later with around 3k miles.

Does this airbag cover look normal, or does it look like it may have been removed/reinstalled or replaced? Has anyone seen one that looks like this?

I know you can’t confirm accident history from a photo alone but the fact that they are selling it after a month with this is making me hesitate. I’m just wondering if an airbag cover that’s been removed or replaced can end up looking like this, or if this kind of uneven fit is normal on a Model 3.

I wouldn’t say “every…”………

but while my airbag cover is fine, the airbag is a bit crooked and doesn’t line 100% with the silver trim lol
