Unhappy Bad panel fit around steering wheel

One thing I just noticed with my new TL: the two molded pieces that house the steering wheel don't fit very well and there is quite an uneven ugly gap that is different from end to end and side to side. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't have a picture of this yet, but I will post them when I manage to take some.

The Gap

I got the gap in my steering wheel too. Its along the top. You don't really see it, but you can feel it.

Re: The Gap

On mine, there is a visible gap where the top and bottom halves meet. The gap is pretty uneven too and I can push the two halves together by hand. Looks like it was not screwed in correctly.

I saw that when I took one for a test drive. This was during the first week the car was released. It was very noticeable.
