Default Broken shifter plastic console

Lastnight I noticed my shift boot came out of the surrounding plastic rim on my console. I tried to put it back under what I thought where rivets.. Turns out they are all broken, I lifted it slightly and they all broke, what a hunk of junk...i'm taking it back to the dealer, they should cover that under warranty shouldn't they? Anyone else had this problem?

You should go ahead and get this billet alluminum shift bezle. Better than our crappy plastic ones! http://www.quadratec.com/products/52110_900.htm

I had that exact same problem, when I brought it to my dealer they told me I would have to pay for it because it looked like it had been FORCED, I have never even tried to remove that thing! After much heated argument they gave in and covered it under warranty. The quality issues I have with my JK are dissapointing. BUT I still love it.

I am thinking of getting the aluminum one later down the road though...
