Default A-pillar trim - nitpicky question

Does anyone else have a tiny gap between the base of the A-pillar trim and the top of the dash panel, where the dash panel slopes downward in the middle? This has slowly developed for me over the summer. It's barely noticeable, but the fabric at the bottom edges of the A-pillar panels is slightly frayed, so certain light accentuates this imperfection...sorta bugs me. The pillar trim section that comes to a 'point' at the base of the windshield is also slightly frayed.

Any solutions/suggestions? I've tried pushing the base of the trim downward, but they easy back up in a few hours. I'd at least like to minimize the appearance of the fuzzy edges.

I haven't noticed anything like that. Hopefully I will remember to check it out this afternoon when I leave

I do not have any problems like that - I just looked and my A-pillar is perfect.

Checked mine too- no gap, no fraying.

When you're sitting in the driver's seat, it's the pillar that runs from the left of the steering wheel to the roof. Connects the hood to the roof basically.

So is the right pillar by the passenger side the B frame?
