Default Yep. Must not be perfectly sealed. It's just at the bottom though, so I don't care/notice it. (m)
My 2001 VW had this, but it was obviously coming in through the holes for the odometer reset/clock *****. I'm not sure on this one.

I wouldn't bother trying to clean it out. You have to take the steering wheel off to get the instrument cluster out, and even then, it's not meant to be opened (read: void warranty).

You can't remove the plastic face unless you have the instrument cluster out...

Default I tried the opposite... by vacuuming long the bottom edge.
Dust is still there.
