Aviator overhead console

We just bought a 05 Aviator and had them install a moonroof. We thought this would be a clean (factory) installation however it was sent to a local installer instead. We are not happy with the appearance now that its installed. The original console was long (sunglasses holder, map lights, homelink). They cut off the overhead console at the map lights and put in a flat panel with a switch in the middle covered in headliner. It looks like a home job. Is there a stock short console that includes moonroof switch that we can replace this with? It doesn't have to be Lincoln, maybe an Explorer console or something. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Your dealer farmed out the job and it came back butchered? I think you need to have a chat with the general manager. This is another example of why factory options are always better than after-market (with the possible exception of audio/video systems).

Yes, there is a shorty console available that has the moonroof switch, however I don't think they have the Homelink installed. I believe the factory moonroof cars have the Homelink in the drivers sun visor.
