my gap is slightly more on the right than the left, but nothing as bad as the pic. I think that is how the crickets get in.

Why do you have an oil change sticker in the window? I thought that was for granny's with dementia

Got the car serviced and never bothered to take it off. It does get annoying though.

Uhh, yea. I tried doing so but all I basically did was make a lot of noise. Haha! It still in an indented position. And now it's annoying me. Should I take mine to the dealer and let them explain to me how it happened and how to fix it?

Disconnect your negative terminal first then tinker around with it.

Do a warranty claim on that. Shouldn't be hard to get them to replace it for you.

Mine also marginally larger gap on right as others have described, not as bad as OP. Hope you get that taken care of via warranty.

Today I realized that when I swing my legs out of my car, I brace myself against the steering wheel with my right hand against that exact area. I suspect that the people having trouble with the trim separating are actually bending their steering wheels and pushing that trim apart little by little over time by using the steering wheel to lever themselves out of the car.

Upon close inspection, the gap on mine is ever so slightly larger on the right. Now that I've seen the pics here of the damage that can be caused, I think I'm going to be a lot more careful of what I grab onto.
