Loose gear shift knob

Good morning. New member here. Luckily I found this forum while searching for an answer to a small problem I'm having. I'm also going to apologize upfront. I did try searching for answer already but quite frankly, my search skills suck.

I have a 2019 SR5 with 13K miles on it. It's a lease but I intent to buy it. Yesterday I noticed the gear shift knob seemed to have come loose to the point that it will rotate a bit. Picture attached. Is there an easy fix for this? It's still under warranty so I can always have the dealer look at it but if it's something simple to address, I'll just take care of it myself.
I appreciate your time in this matter!

Per description,

The easy fix is, righty tighty...

If not, slip a piece of plastic straw over the threads and then screw on your knob.

 

Reading a post on the subject - another forum - everyone there with the problem added another full turn(to the right) to the knob. Some reported it was quite tight and took a little effort but all ended up with the desired result. fwiw

 

Little blue loc-tite will make easy work of it, but knowing me i would get it everywhere.

 

This is what i did also, just cranked it down. Been fine ever since.

 

There's extra space on the inside of the knob for the lever to cut threads. So unless it was cranked down previously, you should be able to give it another turn

 

Quit bein' so violent with yer shiftin'. LOL! Like above try an extra turn. If that fails blue Loctite. Do not use red unless you never intend to take that thing off. OH, and never say never. HEH!

 

I appreciate everyone's time in answering this post. If it's just a threaded part, I'll put a little blue loc-tite on the threads and call it a day. Again, thanks for the help!

 

I believe the threads are plastic; I would not use Loctite on any plastic part. It makes certain plastic brittle and cracks it. Just tighten it down by hand without any threadlocker.

 

Jus to close this out. Tightened by hand. It just needed one more turn clockwise and it settled right in. Good to go!
Thank you all so much for your help!

If the threads are plastic, be careful with the loctite. I've heard that loctite can attack certain plastics.

 

I have used silicone on plastic threads instead of loctite. Put silicone on the threads, screw down and let sit overnight. It will be more forgiving than loctite.
