So, I am detailing trunk area (as we all know how waterproof they are), when I noticed that the plastic was not centered.
Anyone seen this before, know what it's for, or how to get it out?

It's a screw, seen a bunch of them before. Typically used for holding things together.

You can tell it's a screw by the way it is...

Can't you just grab it with a needle nose plyers & wiggle it out by pushing on that plastic bit thata butts to the metal ?

Big question is, was it an 'extra' dropped during assembly or has it worked loose from something ?

Tried.
Plastic wouldn't budge.
That was my thought.
Was it an "extra" dropped in, or a screw that has come loose (from somewhere).

If a magnet will grab it, you could pry off that plastic drain cover, drag it over to the hole & grab it there ? Assuming there is nothing on the underside of that metal lip to stop it.

OR - pop off that decklid cover & just grab it. Then you could look around with a flashlight & inspection mirror to see if there is an empty hole where it should have been !

Gently flex that vertical wall out of plastic and grab it with some small thin needle nose pliers?

Not all Challengers get that special alligator deterrent screw.

Put a drop of superglue on it so it doesn’t rattle or travel?
