Hey guys,
A bottle of dish soap got spilled in the trunk and some of it got between the gaps in the plastic trims.
Is there anything I should do about it?
I cleaned everything I could access to but didn’t want to start ripping the trim out.

Depending on brand, I would doubt that Dish Detergent would do any serios harm to the plastics in your car. Clean up what you can as much as you can and move along. Dish Detergent doesn't rot the bottle it comes in so I figure its mild enough for duck but tough on grease!!

Thank you. I’m more concerned about what’s underneath that plastic. There’s a battery symbol on the plastic as can probably be seen on the photo.

I am not aware that there is any battery in that location. I am only aware of the battery under the Hood. Unless I read the owners manual there should be nothing in the trunk area.
