Just recently I noticed that the leather on my dashboard has started to become unglued. My concern is 1) this is a defect that is common to not only C6 corvette modes (mine) but to C7 (google it on the internet) and some C8 models (information from Service Manager at Tasca Corvette in Wheeling, Illinois when he inspected my vehicle yesterday), 2) since there is an airbag in this location what affect will the loose dashboard leather have on the deployment of the airbag(s) thus becoming a safety issue.
