Crack on my dash
Hello guys, yesterday morning, all of a sudden, I noticed a scratch on the dash 
. Of course I'm quite sure that nobody touched that area, moreover, being just in front of my eyes, I fear that it's a crack.
I'll keep it under control in order to see if it gets longer. Anybody with similar experience?

...it has been my first feeling also, BUT, after the initial panic, my blood came back to the brain and:
- if pre-existent I would have noticed it
- so far nobody else except myself could have had the opportunity to do it
- I've never touched that area
It sound very strange for me also, ...that's why I'm looking for similar experiences...

[UPDATE] Went to the dealer and they admitted that the damage is fully covered by the warranty...
BUT
...I don't think it's a good idea to replace the whole part because of "more than possible" future rattles & crunches...
I really don't know what to do. I've also evaluated the possibility to ask for the "MBTex wrapped dash" addition which I didn't get as option, just to set up my mind a little bit more...
BUT
I'm still not convinced...
What would you guys do in my shoes?

Since warranty covers it, I would just get it replaced. None of us have seen this issue before so it doesn't seem like a common problem and not something you'll encounter again.
I'd also ask the dealer if you can pay the difference to order the MB Tex wrapped dash (if there is a price difference) and replace it with that. It will be a nice upgrade.
