Hey people,

I am looking at some after market paddle shifter extensions for my 2019 GT. There is a great looking set on a U.S. site [not sure if I should name the store] for $80 USD which is $109 CDN. The shipping cost is ridicules, much higher than what I've paid for other things shipped to me from the states. So before I break down and purchase these I thought I would ask the following questions of this forum.

1- Has anyone bought this sort of item.
2- From where. Local?
3- Do they stay on
4- and do they work well
{I watched one video where the comment was that when pulling on it at the topmost tip of the installed extension, it would not actuate the shift and you would need to pull on it more toward the center of
the extension. This would sort of defeat its purpose if you ask me.}

If anyone has any input I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

A stick on one is a fail for me personally. It will not hold as well especially in the summer heat. Go for a full replacement if it is possible.

Yes, the tape is one of my concerns.

I wouldn’t suggest it then. Save your money or wait for a proper upgrade.

Yes, it’s a shame. If only Ford had made the paddles an inch longer on the top end it would have been fine as I don’t know of any other “upgrade” in the offing.
