Shift Boot Installation Instructions
Unclip the plastic base of the shift boot from the console by pushing and lifting the rear of the plastic.
Shift into reverse (this is done as the reverse lockout cable is spring loaded and will shoot down the gearstick if not in reverse)
Unscrew the gear knob
Drive out the small pin holding the reverse lockout lever in place using a punch or nail.
Remove the lockout lever.
Flip the shift boot upwards to expose the pin securing the reverse lockout cable and drive it out.
The shift boot is now free and can be removed.
Take off the plastic narrow end from the shift boot and unhook the base of the shift boot from the surrounding plastic
Use the existing boot to trace and mark the hook holes for the new boot with a white marker. You can do this by putting one boot nesting over the other.
Use the previous markings and a sharp knife to create ~5mm slits in the new boot.
Hook the new boot to the plastic surround.
Slide the plastic narrow end into the new boot. This takes some persuasion.
Reinstall in reverse order. To get the pins back in, start off with a tapered punch and after they will go in pretty easy with some hammering!
Handbrake Boot Installation Instructions
Use a bank card or similar and slide it into the front of the handbrake boot and carefully pry upwards to unclip it. You can use a large flathead screwdriver and a rag if the card doesn't work.
Once unclipped the rest of the boot’s plastic surround should unclip easily
Remove the boot by sliding it over and off the handbrake.
Peel the existing boot off the plastic. Take note of where adhesive was applied for new adhesive.
Clean up any old adhesive using Eucalyptus oil or other cleaning product and heat.
Apply thin double sided tape where possible to the plastic surround. Any other spots that were not able to be taped I used hot glue or Araldite.
Tip: for the front end cut triangles out of the leather for it to fold over nicely.
Reinstall in reverse order of installation.
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.
