Dashboard speaker grill is not uniform

[HavasuPaPa]

The dashboard speaker grill on my 2012 has an irregular surface to it. In certain light you can see that it is not uniform in shape and you can definitely feel the high and low spots when you run you hand over it. I went to the dealer to see if I could get it replaced under warranty, and the service rep showed me a 2012 and 2013 on the lot which both had the same problem. Is everyone else's speaker grill the same as mine? BTW, it is made of plastic, so you can't just try to bend it back into shape.

Odd, I thought it was aluminum and have cleaned it numerous times...guess I really never noticed the high/low spots, or mine is not as bad as some possibly.

Mine is that way too.

It may very well be aluminum, I put a magnet on it and it did not grab. That's why I assumed it was plastic...of course if it is aluminum it wouldn't attract the magnet.

I'm pretty sure it's plastic. I've looked at mine pretty often considering it's mostly in your line of sight on the dash...it's "minorly" imperfect with a subtle waviness, but not enough to bother me fortunately Can really only see it from certain angles.
