APPERFiT Shifter Bezel for Jeep Cherokee XJ 1997–2001, Black PRNDL Indicator, OEM Fit

APPERFiT's replacement shifter bezel restores the PRNDL indicator and center-console finish for 1997–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ automatic transmissions. The original plastic trim around a Jeep Cherokee XJ shifter can crack, fade, or lose its shift-lettering after years of use. This APPERFiT replacement bezel is designed to match the OEM dimensions and appearance so you can quickly repair the interior center console without costly dealer parts. It ships new in black with the PRNDL indicator molded in and includes a one-year warranty for added confidence.

How does this bezel match the factory fit and finish?

The bezel follows the OEM contours and mounting points to align with the XJ floor console and the automatic gear selector. That close fit reduces gaps and prevents rubbing against the shift lever during operation.

• Engineered to OEM dimensions for 1997–2001 Cherokee XJ models
• Molded PRNDL indicator positioned for clear viewing
• Snap-in or screw attachment points that mirror original part

Will this part hold up to daily use in a vehicle interior?

Yes — the bezel is made from durable automotive-grade plastic that resists cracking and surface wear from repeated shifting and cleaning. Its black finish is chosen to integrate with common XJ trim while resisting stains and scuffs.

• Durable material designed for frequent contact and movement
• Black finish hides dirt and matches existing console tones
• Surface engineered to resist fading under normal sunlight exposure

Is installation difficult and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic interior trim removal. The bezel replaces the original PRNDL surround and generally requires removing a few fasteners or clips and snapping the new piece into place.

• Typical install uses standard trim tools or a small screwdriver
• No wiring or mechanical adjustments required for most XJ shifters
• Replacement designed for direct swap with OEM 55115615 / 5EK03TRM

Will this fit my specific Jeep Cherokee XJ year?

This bezel is specifically made for automatic-transmission Cherokee XJ models from 1997 through 2001. Confirm your vehicle year and that you have the floor-mounted automatic shifter before ordering.

• Compatible with 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 Cherokee XJ
• Replacement for OEM part numbers 55115615 and 5EK03TRM

This APPERFiT shifter bezel is for Jeep owners, DIY restorers, and independent mechanics who want a reliable, affordable replacement for worn or broken PRNDL trim. If your Cherokee XJ's center-console shifter surround is cracked, missing shift letters, or no longer secures properly, this part restores function and appearance without the wait or cost of dealer sourcing. The product ships new in black and includes one bezel panel with the PRNDL indicator and a one-year warranty supported by APPERFiT customer service.
