Hi there,
I neeed advice:
Yesterday I bought a new AR. After few hours of getting to know each other, I saw a clearance (a small gap) in the middle between thr top plate and the left side, see pic.
Is this normal??
If not: what shall I do, what would you do?
Thanks in advance!

ÌDoesnt look that strange, although i dont have it like that
Mine is similar. There’s no reason to be worried and surprised you even noticed! 
unfortunately, it is fairly normal.
better ventilation!
tbh, if it was me, i wouldn’t be best pleased, the compliance of the top panel (assuming it flexes under pressure/striking) is hardly going to make an already ‘tricky’ pad response situation any better, or maybe it will make it better 
caveat: assumes the pcb/pads are attached to faceplate and not projecting through from chassis support
Thanks for your opinions!
@biologik: on the left side as well?
Ok… maybe the pic is not that good, but faceplate bows nearly 1 mm the highest. Looks like the AR fell down somewhen or so… Made a new pic.
@bkinsman: Lol, true 
@avatronica: It seems, that pads are not mounted against the faceplate; if I press fairly hard, the gap is not moving. If pressing the faceplate, it moves easily.
Thanks in advance for your comments, if you experience the same.
