Seemed to be a fairly frequent problem for people. I just dealt with the piece broken for years before I realized how cheap and easy the fix could be! Good luck!
Is it easy to take out and replace the plastic part? Any instructions somewhere? Update: I did it today. I took out the knob as in the video (optional step but makes it easier). Pop the silver trim out with a trim tool or plastic card. The plastic piece is held in place by a plastic rod. Push the rod out. Remove spring and install on new plastic piece. Put the new piece in there and put the rod back. Snap silver piece back and put back the knob as in the video.. Total cost: 9$.
The silver piece or the leather boot? Both absolutely can be switched. I don’t know that you can just buy the silver collar piece by itself, but mine knob came with a new one. I guess theoretically you could a knob and only use the piece you need, and return the rest.
Man, you’re a lifesaver! Thanks. Dad here and gotta do this to my daughter’s car.
I get it! I literally left mine broken for like 5 years because I didn’t realize how cheap and easy the fix could be. Good luck!
Thank you neighbor.
I am facing the exact same issue with you! Has replaced the knob! Good video!

You can purchase just the plastic release knob and replace just that. Same process but the knob is only $12 on e-bay FYI

Was it just the black plastic piece that broke off for ya or the spring too? My plastic piece broke off and I’m thinking about just trying to glue it
I have a question please. i want to change the 2019 Grand cherokee shit knob with the 2015-2016 one , is that possible ??
Is there a way to replace the collar thing you called it? Mine just broke and seen this video they send a replacement. TIA

What tool are you using to take the screw out?
If I remember correctly off the top of my head, it was a t20 screw head. 99% sure t20, but the other 1% of me says it might have been a t15!
Where can you buy this type of screwdriver
