Description of the problem	Currently there is a crack that is forming around my dash board where the passenger airbag is located. I've seen several other forum posts about this eventually forming an outline around where the airbag is. I'm concerned that this will affect the airbag from either opening or opening when it shouldn't. Another concern of mine is a problem that all rx8 owners have and that is the fishbowl taillights. Our taillights get so much water in them that they turn into fishbowls. I have replaced the gaskets on mine 3 times already. This to me is an electrical hazard not to mention a driving safety hazard.
