What does the shifter handle bezel do?
The outer plastic bezel is the visible upper portion of the automatic shifter handle — it holds the chrome shift-release button and gives the shifter its finished look. Repeated use of the release button, along with age and UV exposure inside the cabin, can crack or wear the plastic, leaving a rough or broken-looking shifter even though the transmission itself is unaffected.
What are the symptoms of a worn shifter bezel?
A worn or cracked bezel may show as:
- Visible cracks or chips around the shift button
- A loose-fitting chrome shift button
- Rough or unfinished-looking plastic at the shifter handle
If the shift button itself is broken or the internal spring has failed, you'll also need the APDTY 54132-SDA-A81 repair kit in addition to this bezel.
