Do you have a broken or deteriorated bezel?
Replace it now! Cracks can cause damage to the shifter boots bottom while deteriorated plastic can loosen the bezel, compromising its usability.
To remove damaged or deteriorated bezels, lightly press the sides of the bezel inwards and then pop out.
To install the replacement shifter bezel, insert it through the shifter boot with the front (the taller edge and with the snap-on clips at the bottom) end facing the dashboard. Drape the rubber boot over the bezel and gently press the bezel down on both ends until it clicks in place. The bezel will create a snug hold, preventing the boot from flopping around.
Take note that theres only one way to install this bezel so ensure that its facing the right way before pressing it into place.
