Shifter cap broken - replaceable??
The small chrome plastic cap on the floor shifter (automatic transmission/flow thru console)of my 06 Lariat has broken off. Appears it snaps into place held there by three small prongs and two of mine have broken off.
I've searched Y2kFord's online catalogs but can't find that part. Anyone got a PN or know if it can be purchased separately or is it part of a larger assembly?

Its going on nearly five years and I am still surprised that there are no aftermarket options for the shifter handle. Am I missing something here...maybe someone can post pics of what Mark LT shifter but I would think there would be a few aftermarket companies cleaning up with some kind of replacement.

Where did you get the matching wood grain cover for the console (sorry not a hijack attempt)? I see there is additional trim around it, is it one of those full blown kits or can you get separate pieces?

MDHawkin - The wood grain around the shifter is part of an entire dash kit. Can't buy just the one piece. Google and you'll find several options - chrome, woodgrain, carbon fiber, and on and on. Or search here for Lariat dashboard kits or Lariat wood replacement and you'll find several threads and lots o pics. If memory serves the kits run around $200 and some come with 30-40 different pieces.
Yes, Patman, I'm talking about the little chrome on plastic cap. At least I know now I'm not alone. Guess I could glue it back on but then if you needed to get into that assembly at some time, you'd have to break it off. It would be just like Ford to require us to buy a $250 assembly to get a .50¢ piece of plastic.
I'll keep searching a while before I dig out the gorilla glue.

Well that didn't take long ---
A Google search turned up multiple threads from this and other F150 forums about this problem. Apparently it is a chronic problem on the 04-08s. No one seems to have found an answer - Ford does not sell the part individually, you apparently have to buy the entire shifter ****.
The most popular suggestions are super glue, gorilla glue, or something called Welder from Wally World. In other words, glue it back on. Some say they've had to do it over and over.
There is a complete shifter assembly on ebay at the moment that exactly matches my 06 Lariat (it was pulled from same) for $65 opening bid. I'll go $5 for the cap if anyone else needs the rest of the assembly for $60
Now where did I put that gorilla glue?
OH - forgot to mention some did say they swapped out for the Mark LT shifter - up for doing another mod Patman?
