Step 1. Remove shift knob by turning counterclockwise.
Step 2. Remove shift boot by carefully squeezing the base of the boot from the back side towards the front side. You may need to carefully slide a thin flathead screwdriver between the base of the boot and the console. Remove the e-brake boot by squeezing the sides together near the front side of the boot. The screwdriver will come in handy on this one too.
Step 3. Pull boot up over itself so it looks like an upside down cone. Look for the zip tie keeping the boot from sliding up and over the reverse lock out mechanism and cut the zip tie with wire snips or similar plier tool. Now both boots should slide right off.
Step 4. Carefully remove the staples holding the boots to the plastic bases. You will need to reuse the plastic bases but not the staples.
Step 5. Re-fit the new boots around the plastic bases. The leather will have slits that perfectly match up with the clips on the plastic bases and hold it in place.
Step 6. Fit the boots with the plastic bases installed back into the proper places. Push the front side of the shift boot in first, and then the back side will snap in. Be careful that the plastic tabs are still keeping the leather in place. The e-brake boot slides over the handle just like it came off. Put the back side in first and gently squeeze the sides together in the front and push it in place. It should snap right into place.
Step 7. Push the opening of the shift boot down around the reverse lock out mechanism. The elastic will give enough to go around it. Be sure to pull the e-brake boot down the handle enough that when you disengage the e-brake, there is still enough slack to not stretch the boot.
Step 8. Re-install shift knob.
Leather care: apply a leather conditioner with UV protection every 4-6 weeks to keep it from drying out and cracking.
