Step 1. Start by removing the stock shift knob. To do this you will need to quickly and firmly yank the shift knob along the length of the rod. It might not come off on the first attempt, but keep trying. It’s on their fairly firmly! If you cannot get it off by yanking, another method is to place a towel underneath the shift knob and use a hammer on the underside of the knob and attempt to hit it off.
Step 2. Using the blue arrows as a guide, push in on those areas and pull UP on the rear-section (green arrow). This will loosen up the clips holding the boot in place. Slide the rear up and as you do so, the front will easily come loose (there is a small tab on the front used as a guide).
Step 3. Using a razorblade, neatly remove the stock shift boot and leave the stock oval ring behind. Don’t worry if you cut into the ring as you’ll never see it after the installation.
Step 4. Inspect the shift boot. 5. then place 2-3mm slits along the bottom edge of the shift boot approximately 1.5” apart.
Step 5. Place the shift boot over your newly cleaned stock ring. 7.here’s a view from the underside.
Step 6. Get out the glue you are going to be using for the install. Use a multi-purpose, high-strength glue. This glue was intended for plastics (the ring) and for leather (the new shift boot).
Step 7. Pull the cover slightly (~4mm) over the edge of your stock oval ring. Prep the area marked with the blue arrow (the outermost ring on the bottom). From here, carefully line the outer most ring with beads of glue.
Step 8. Press the shift boot down onto the glue. Work one section at a time, from one cut mark to the next. Do this until you have completed the shift boot. You will notice some overlap of material underneath the boot, but this will not interfere with aesthetics or function.
Step 9. Inspect your completed shift boot.
Step 10. Inspect the shifter, and prepare for the install.
Step 11. Slide new leather boot over the shift knob, and remember to keep the large tab facing the front of the car. Slide the tab under the center console and snap down the rear section.
Step 12. Replace shift knob by forcefully hitting on the top of it. It will snap back into place.
Leather care: apply a leather conditioner with UV protection every 4-6 weeks to keep it from drying out and cracking.
