    So I looked at a lot of Tundras before mine, and quite a few 15-17 had this issue. What is it? Itss like the airbag got excited and predented the pad :confused::eek2:? IDK...is it fixable?
    just sorta bugs

    Thanks

    That doesn't look deformed at all. Looks like it was designed that way. Can't remember mine offhand but will take a look later.

    They are indeed all that way because of the airbag.:thumbsup:

    I remember when I cleaned my center emblem to install my logo cover.
    I thought I had discolored it when I used alcohol on it for cleaning.
    Come to find out it always looked like that..:cool:
