Have you tried removing the lock cover and reinstalling? It may not be fully snapped on. Also, as @Mikthehun1 said above any Ford or Lincoln dealer can handle a warrantyThat's the plan, but they are over an hour away, so it will have to wait a couple of weeks.
Looks like the piece you take off to use the backup metal key stored in the fob. Since its supposed to be removable, I would take it off and see if someone just didn't put it on right or if an easy DIY fix is possible. May be very unlikely but some dealer visits result in scratches, dent and even totaled cars.
I assume you mean the MGW shifter. If so, are you pleased with the short shifter? Thinking about buying one but can’t decide which length to get.Installed my WMG short shifter and manual shift boot/bezel. I purchased the short version which requires removing 1” off the shaft. Very easy install.Very satisfied with the look and feel. This is the way the automatic should have come from the factory.
First thing I tried. Then I took the one off of my wife's car and swapped them thinking maybe the cover was defective. It mounts the same with her cover on my car, and mine mounts normally on hers. Off to the local Ford dealer I shall go after Christmas.
WMG is White Madness Garage I think. I like the look of their short shifter but wasn't thrilled with the idea of having to cut an inch off the shaft. I need to maintain all the length I've got!
i had them installed by a custom detail shop and they cut around the antenna.

correct White Madness. I was a little hesitant to make the cut but once knowing I would be able to go back to OEM if needed made it an easier decision. I used 1” masking tape, a tubing cutter to start with and finished off with a hacksaw blade very easy to do. I haven’t seen the normal length version in person so I can’t compare but I like how this turned out. Now I’m just waiting for my ruby red knob.
