Dash 'separating' over instrument panel?

[lightspeed]

I have the same small separation in the dash. I'll probably just live with it since I see it on many F-150s (they probably saved 10 cents on an extra clip). It's probably not practical to fix. What would they even do?

SO what is going to be a final update to this for now. This is apparently just a design problem. The dealer ordered replacement parts, and the problem was worse. So they replaced THOSE, and the problem was back to how it started. I was told I'm going to have to live with it. @Ford Motor Company 's contact apparently didn't respond to/help the dealer at all :/

This was apparently the theme of my repairs... The front speaker grill being warped, the new one warped immediately upon replacing it. The passenger running board they got as a replacement is WORSE than the one already on the truck!
