I noticed something on my 2017 model on the leather bit that surrounds the gear stick and not sure if meant to like this or is a fault.

Basically the leather surround only seems stitched together on one of its side for about 80% of the seam, the top inch near the gear nob is not stitched together, this is side facing towards the dash. I noticed it as car has been cleaned inside and I noticed the seam was seperated at the top. I looked and I cant see any threads hanging or holes so never looks like it was stictched but may be it was glued ? I had to push the seam together at the to close the gap.

It’s perfectly normal, so the gaitor can be removed over the top of the gear knob.
