Just came back from the dealer, and I think they forgot something - is there a plastic cover underneath the steering wheel that would cover the steering column, just above the brake+gas pedals?
Right now I can see the steering column with white grease on it..can anyone confirm that? Thanks!

 

Yesh there's a cover

 

I dont know which one you are missing.. but theres the number 4 in the second pic, which cover the whole area.. and theres the number 14 in the first, which cover just the column

 

Sorry Mini Mac - don't see the pics
