shift boot installation guide

SHIFT BOOT

1. Remove shift knob and shift boot. Shift knob simply unscrews, shift boot can be pulled off - just pull edges of shift boot towards the shifter to disengage the clips holding the bracket to the console. If the clip doesn't give by itself, use a dull tool to push the clip towards the center until they do.

2. After the shift boot has been taken off, you are left with the bezel.

3. Take the new shift boot and align it over the bezel in the correct position and attach the pre-cut holes on the shift boot to the bezel.

4. Once the shift boot has been applied to the shifter bezel, place the completed assembly back into its slot (pressure may be applied to get the clips back in place.) Install shift knob and you are done!

EBRAKE BOOT

1. Lift the armrest to expose the entire vinyl boot. Pull up on the boot until it pops loose.

2. Slide the boot up over the e-brake handle. Peel the boot loose from the plastic frame and save the frame.

3. Line up the e-brake boot on the frame as shown.

4. Glue down the boot using an appropriate adhesive. 3M Super 77, Automotive GOOP - there are many glues out there and your local hardware store will be a good source. The glue should be epoxy-based and have a bit of cure time, so that you can make adjustments if necessary before it's cured.

5. Slide the boot down over the handle and snap the frame into place. Due to thickness of leather, you might need to trim it out slightly around the clips to allow them to fully slide into the respective sockets. If you find out that some of the clips don't catch - remove the boot again, and use a retractable blade, x-acto knife or similar to crim out the leather around them slight and try again.

ARMREST COVER

1. Remove the 6 screws holding the bottom fascia of the armrest.

2. Carefully pop out the fascia. No tools required, hand pressure only.

3. Remove the scree screws that hold the padded cover to the hinge.

4. Glue the new cover over the old one (or replacing it, if you so desire) using an appropriate adhesive. 3M Super 77, Automotive GOOP - there are many glues out there and your local hardware store will be a good source. The glue should be epoxy-based and have a bit of cure time, so that you can make adjustments if necessary before it's cured.

5. Carefully trim out the excess which you might find on the underside in the convex and concave corners. Should not be a big deal because there is quite a distance between the top side and the fascia you had removed. Reinstall everything in the reverse order of removal.

CONGRATULATIONS - YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED YOUR NEW ARMREST COVER!

Useful tip

You have installed a product made out of genuine leather. As you know, to maintain a leather product in good condition, you should take care of it. We suggest occasionally (every 4-6 week for example) applying some leather conditioner/UV protector to keep your leather from drying up in the sun and cracking.
