Default Have I got a seal or piece of trim missing.

I was having a look at my windshield today and noticed I could
see exposed wiring and stuff under the dash.
It looks like there is supposed to be a seal or some trim between the front edge of the dash and the windshield.
Its a pretty big gap and I can see myself losing something down there.
Can someone see if theirs is the same , I am betting its a jeep thing .
Thanks for any help guys.

There's a thread on here about some guys dropping key rings,wallets etc. through the gap and after I lost a parking stub I came up with a possible solution.
The soft black foam tubing wrap normally used for the insulation of refridgerant tubes comes in a variety of diameters and cutting it to length to stuff in the gap may be possible.
Just waiting to pick some up off a construction site...it's on the shopping list.
