Shifter Problem

Does anybody know how to get to the little plastic piece that runs along the shift lever slot? It's the little corrugated piece right under the shift lever in the following picture. Mines doesn't follow the shift lever anymore and I was wondering if there was a way that I could fix it.

Mine was removed before I bought the car and it works fine. I'm just a little more cautions not to get anything in there. If I could find a new one I would like to get it.
