Shift knob rubber trim replacement?

[SN13]

On my 2019 Ranger the rubber in the shift knob got gummy and I ended up removing it but now I'm trying to find a replacement part.

Anyone modified or replaced their shift knob trim? Anyone know where I can source a new piece?

Thanks

Idk but TD (the guy doing the roush ranger build on the forum here) found this

There is a all black option as well if you don’t want the carbon look.

Actually I purchased both the leather cover and this carbon fiber. I installed the carbon fiber and really like it. I rest my hand on the shifter a lot and it is smooth and comfortable. If you install one the instructions recommend you use stronger double sided tape. I just thoroughly cleaned the existing area with acetone and applied the cover as is. That was 6 months ago and have not had any problems.

Yeah but you have super fancy Roush seats don’t ya.
Those seats have such a nice look to them.
I’d get the all leather looking one. I don’t have any fancy carbon fiber bits to match.

Did this go over the existing rubber? Or did you have to remove the rubber first?

That’s a good question. I’d like to know aswell.. looking at the product as close as I can (via pictures available on Amazon.) it appears to be overlays that adhere to the original material fixed in those locations…(looking at the carbon fiber one.).. so you may have to adhere the pice that came off back to the shifter (or inside the overlay CF piece.. then glue it back on to your shifter.

^ this one appears to be one you cover the original shifter and stitch it together on the front lower part of the shifter handle…… (for firmer feeling you’d want to likely glue the soft part back on aswell so it doesn’t leave a void where the cover could collapse the material into… possibly leaving a unsightly dent in the finished look.)…. Anyway I’m just making assumptions about the product as I don’t have one of either.

I ordered the little rubber trim from Ford’s parts website for about $10 and it fit perfectly. Took around a week to get. You can also check eBay or Amazon for a generic trim kit if you want it faster.

It easily fits over the existing rubber on the shifter. Like I mentioned I cleaned the entire area rubber with acetone to remove any oils from my gripping it and applied it as it came. It has held tight.

Care to share a link for the replacement part? Mine is falling apart and I cant seem to find it on the parts website....

From what i see - the parts diagrams only breaks it down to the complete shift handle assembly, now there were some websites such as Locombe Ford (Canada) that had excellent parts breakdowns and would sometimes show (detailed) views and parts - however recently they changed the format and no longer have it. (GRR) it was far better than any US Listing.

So you may try - calling a local ford parts counter - and see if they can get a deeper parts ident off of the shift knob assembly - (Ford tends to sell parts as an assembly) not individual pieces of it - so if the above got the (trim piece) from a true ford parts counter, then you will need the part number, keep in mind that this may be a (3rd Party) part as an accessory.

If the Canada - Parts IPC was still up and running, I would be able to tell for sure as it was highly detailed and I do not know what changed - but they do not appear to have the direct parts link anymore and you get stuck in a loop - geared towards (professional shops) now, I have even noticed that the US - IPC's have changed the viewable format - all within the last 60 Days or so.

An example would be - If available - Lacombe Ford (IPC) would show the attaching trim for (Item 10) - this is the base part number for the shift knob assembly - no further details given

Update the Carbon fiber cover has held up well no problems a year later.

yeah that all makes sense. which is why i asked the guy who ordered the part if he had a link. thanks?
