Glove Box - crack or design feature?

Don't bother as I just checked mine and there is the exact same thing. Mine is a phev though. So, just enjoy~

Hi I am glad you posted this. Because mine is exactly the same. I was doing research to see if it was normal or not. I wonder why Hyundai did that?

It's probably how they build them. Weld two bits together.

My ICE SEL does not have that plumbers crack either.

My HEV has this mold line in the plastic. I never noticed it until reading this post.

Just noticed a trend. It seems to be a Canada/UK thing that they have it and we, in the colonies, don’t! Hmmm, maybe it’s a Continental Divide thing? I know there’s a million jokes here!

HEV has it ICE does not??

Or possibly old stock versus new stock.

I hope more people post their findings, no one wants to be pulled over with crack in their glovebox...

Yep there's a million of them....

2023 Hybrid LTD edition, bought in the US, I have same line too…. Glad for this post as I thought it was a crack too, car is only a week old.

I worked in tool and die for many years. This is indeed NOT a crack. It was deemed as acceptable by those who monitor such things at the assembly plant because it's located in a place where nobody cares. Unless of course you're part of a Tucson Forum where we LOVE to worry about every little thing
--gotta admit though, I can see why anybody would think something's wrong. It's one of the things that toolmakers try to eliminate when setting up mold machines. I'd guess that if this joint line was any place else, they'd have corrected it.
---Maybe glue in some nice felt to cover it with a classy solution?
