Shift handle blocks A/C button, MPV 2006
 

On my 2006 MPV now that the weather is getting warmer I noticed that the gear shift handle when in drive blocks the A/C button.

Is there a retrofit gear shift handle, perhaps without the offset bends in the stick that when in drive will not block the A/C button?

Is it just the 2006 MPV, or is it also other model year MPV that has this same issue?
