APPERFiT Shifter Bezel Cover for Jeep Cherokee XJ 1997-2001 — Black PRNDL Trim, OEM Fit

APPERFiT's replacement automatic transmission shifter bezel is a direct-fit PRNDL trim panel designed to restore the floor console gear indicator on Jeep Cherokee XJ models from 1997 through 2001.

If the original plastic surround around your Cherokee's floor shifter is cracked, faded, or missing the PRNDL markings, this APPERFiT bezel offers a like-for-like replacement engineered to the same OEM dimensions (55115615 / 5EK03TRM). Supplied new in black with the engraved PRNDL display, it installs into the interior center console floor area to give a clean, finished look and reliable shift-position visibility.

Will this bezel fit my Jeep Cherokee XJ from 1997–2001?

Yes — the APPERFiT shifter bezel was manufactured to match the original OEM shape and mounting points for Cherokee XJ automatic transmissions across the listed years. It replaces part numbers 55115615 and 5EK03TRM, so compatibility is straightforward when your vehicle uses those references.

• Fitment: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ automatic transmission
• Direct replacement for OEM part numbers 55115615 and 5EK03TRM
• Designed to align with factory console clips and screw points

How durable and accurate is the replacement PRNDL panel?

This bezel is molded from a hard-wearing plastic formulated to resist everyday wear, temperature changes, and the friction that causes factory pieces to crack or fade. The PRNDL characters are clearly indicated to preserve shift-position readability without altering your interior’s original appearance.

• High-quality molded plastic with factory-style finish
• Clear PRNDL markings for easy shift reference
• Resists splitting, discoloration, and general interior wear

How easy is installation — do I need tools or modifications?

Installation is typically a simple, quick process requiring basic hand tools and no modification to the console. The bezel is made to re-use the vehicle’s existing mounting points, so most owners can swap the part in a short session.

• Basic tools (screwdriver/pry tool) suffice for removal and fitment
• No cutting or console modification required when OE mounting is intact
• Fits into the factory console opening for a clean finish

The product ships as a single new APPERFiT shift bezel panel with the PRNDL indicator already integrated. APPERFiT includes a 1-year warranty to cover defects; customer support is available by email for fitment or product questions.
