    i got an idea... all the little bits of plastic are broken and all your screws are missing.

    edit* oh, and your door is leaking

    sorry bro. but the dashes are prone to cracking and falling to bits. mine has about 2 out of 12 screws still holding it together. sadly i havnt figured out a fix yet, other than cutting large strips of thick plastic out and using them as sort-of-washers.

    or buying a dash in good nick. i am gonna stick to plastic washers for now.

    my sle has the same problem, i started pulling it out and now its worse and wont budge, dont want to break it though, i think it started from the dash warping slightly (unnoticeable to the eye) and the little tabs at the bottom dont fit in there groves anymore

    2 inch gap!
    My dash has maybe a 5mm gap where the upper and lower halves of the dash meet beside the side vents, which I can't seem to close up either. All the dash is in tact. But it's not particularly noticeable unless you are looking for it.

    But 2 inch gaps.... you must have done something wrong.
