shifter bezel

I used this video to get an understanding of how the center console worked on my 2015 but it's not exactly the same.

I didn't need to take my console all the way apart. Basically my steps were:
1. Remove the top center tray and remove the 7mm bolt.
2. Gently pry off the whole top piece of the console cover. It's just held on with clips and this is different than the video. The trim around the shifter just comes off with it so no need to pry and take a chance of breaking it.
3. Pry off the shifter covers like in the video. You think they wont come off but they will. Just keep working it.
4. Remove the two T20 bolts that hold the knob to the shifter handle. It just slides like in the video but not all the way off.
4. The shifter cover is held down with 4 plastic tabs. Since you're replacing the whole piece it doesn't really matter if they break.
5. Undo all the electrical clips under the cover. There are 3.
6. Slide everything off.
7. Put the new shifter cover on and position the shifter handle through the hole. Reconnect all the clips.
8. Put everything back together in reverse order.

It took about an hour since I was going slow and it looks great. $24 well spent.

While I was there I removed the middle row center seat and made two Captains chairs so the Grandkids can get in 3rd row easier. Just throw a nice, thick floor mat over the holes and it looks good. Even my wife was pleased. We'll see if it passes the kid test but it's so much easier to clean the floor now, too.

ok I will give it a try, the console is not short as F150 so the video wasn't it

Just be careful I snapped off one of the pins that hold it on that kind of moves around a little bit
