Yes.. you need to buy the slider piece called the jalousie.
To summarize;
step one..remove the caddy tray by cigarette lighter..then is a tab on the top or bottom.. I used a piece of flat plastic or Popsicle stick so as to not scratch the center console cover.
The black rubber piece around the black plastic shifter pops off..can be pried up easy.
With the caddy out there are screws to un-screw the center console by the
cigarette lighter..the seat heater buttons can be diconnected and popped out.
There is some prying of the center console toward the rear..use plastic or Popsicle stick not a screw driver.
Lifting the console cover out of the way (but not over the shifter) the hardest part is getting the black plastic over the jalousie off..there are 4 plastic tabs holding it on.. here I used a screwdriver on the tabs.
With all that lifted up but not over the shifter one can get at the jalousie..
I used the method described on Saabnet.. one can cut the new Jalousie with a razor blade..but it in the middle of the center tab that sticks out . This lets one put the jalousie on without taking the Shifter apart. The tab is held in the shifter slot so that holds it together despite the cut.
