Can anyone with a w213 e63s confirm this ‘gap’ ?

Very rarely - like once a week when going over a specific kind of bump, I hear a very audible plasticy clonk around the steering column.

Today I noticed a gap under the front screen right above the steering column - right bang in the middle.
Before talking to Merc, can someone with the same car check and see if this is normal ?
Gap seems to close if I push hard on the side of the console but neither the left nor right side seems misaligned, yet the gap looks odd:

Do you have a better photo? - its hard to make out exactly where that is located from that photo.
 
Trim needs to be able to expand and contract with viaious heat thus the tiny gap :)
 
Wait until the car has been parked outside in the sun on the hottest day of the year, maybe the gap will disappear . An in built expansion gap maybe ? A lot of trim parts to expand during summertime in Dubai/Arizona etc.
 
Thanks guys for clarification. So the hunt for the mysterious clonk continues :)
