Yeah, it's a synthetic rubber piece, tug on it, and it will pop right out. I think it's a little odd that it is loose on your car. A new one is $60 or so, and might fit better. But a couple of dabs of silicone behind your loose one will likely make it stay put.

Wow. Think I paid less than half of that from Suncoast a few years ago...

From my recent interior trim refinishing project, IIRC, the ignition trim is EPDM rubber. To tighten it up if it seems loose or has some unsightly gap, I'd suggest pulling it away and reinserting it more fully. You could also try "re-clocking" it (rotating it at a slightly different angle).
