2004 F150 FX4 Chrome Shifter Cap?

My chrome shifter cap is peeling and was wondering if there is anyway to replace this? I have read up on this forum of other people with the same problem but haven't found a replacement part or solution unless you buy a whole new shifter. What do you guys recommend?

It will pop off with a screw driver. If I were you i would just take it off and paint it black to save some money. If not maybe look on ebay for a used shifter?

Yea sounds like the best plan, for now I will leave it alone it doesn't bug me too much, maybe I will get some of that black chrome spray paint see if that works, but since it isn't too bad I would rather not risk ruining it, so I will leave it for now. Thanks though!

You can get the shift **** thru Tasca Parts # 4L3Z-7213-BA ; Little on the pricy side at $43.00 + Shipping, or their eBay store for $58.00 w/free shipping

Cool, now this kind of looks like just installing a new button...do these steps take off the whole shifter assembly?

No, just the handle. After the screw is removed the handle just pulls straight up and off the lever.

Your video is private. It's not going to help anybody like that...
