In this picture, there is a grey piece of plastic trim that spans the entire dash. It's located above the vents, it continues on either side of the gauge cluster. When I opened the door at the end of the test drive, the plastic trim running from the gauges to the door completely fell off the vehicle.

There, it's no secret, inspector.
That trim is probably held on by a simple press/expansion type clip (I don't know the name for it). It probably somehow, some way, escaped QC at the factory (it happens with every brand). Wasn't pressed in all the way, and a few hot/cold cycles of the sun baking the car, etc. and it fell off when you jarred the vehicle with the door opening. Press it in, it would have probably clipped right in place and never been a problem. The A-pillar in my Z06 is identical, except it didn't miss QC.
