Default Strange interior question- Woo's got a exploded schematic?.

Okay- it's a dumb sensless question, but I still want to know-

I noticed today while backing into a spot on the passanger side c pillar toward the top it was a little (dented) as in, I could see the black surround of the glass passed the small dot matrix alot more towards the top than at the bottom. It just seemed to not be perfectly uniform. I know that nothing is perfect and i will get over it.

But here is the question, on the drivers side, the c pillar trim is perfectly straight, and I was actually pressing along the edges and it is more ridgid than the passanger side trim,, I also was not able to press in against the trim as easily on the drivers side trim. It leads me to believe that there is something else going on behind the drivers side c piller trim that is not going on, on the passanger side, like some structure, or computer or something- show knows- Im sure the air bags are there on both sides, but I just find it strange and wanted to know if there is any other equipment hiding in the c pillar on the drivers side that is not on the passanger side. I have an 05. If there was no air bag in there- i would have popped off the panel, to investigate....and maybe try to straighten the panel a little more. LOL. OCD Sob i am..

Could be more wiring bundles in that area on the driver's side.

Just curious lust, but are you a dective? I ask b/c you are highly observant (in a good way). I haven't noticed this, maybe it's b/c I use the backup camera too much lol.
