Step 1. Remove the shifter knob. If you can't do it with bare hands, try vise grips with a towel to protect the shift knob from scratching. Remove the centre trim piece that holds the shift boot in (just pop it out).
Step 2. Remove the 4 screws attaching the shift boot mount to the center trim piece. Disattach the old boot from the plastic mount (just pull it off where it's heat-mounted to the plastic). Remove the top mounting (the metal bracket and the plastic ring. If you turn the old boot inside out, it's pretty obvious how to do it and it takes about 2 seconds.
Step 3. Put the new boot on the plastic mount using the slits. You do not need to heat-mount it back, it will hold up just fine without it. Put the top mount back on (when the boot is inside out, put the plastic ring on by pulling the leather stripes through the ring, bend the stripes around the ring and put the metal bracket back on).
Step 4. Re-mount the boot and it's plastic mount to the center piece with the 4 screws. Put the trim piece back in and re-mount the shift knob and you're done with the shifter boot! NOTE: The e-brake boot is a half-length design. The pictures to the rigth show the old, full-length design though. The description, however, has been updated accordingly.
Step 5. The easiest way to install the e-brake boot is to loosen the center console. There are two screws towards the back of it, and two up front on the sides. If you remove them, the console will start moving around. Alternatively (like on this picture) you can pull the e-brake boot OFF the handle, pull the leather onto it and slide it back on the e-brake handle.
Step 6. If you chose the console loosening version (recommended), now that the console is loose, pull the e-brake up, pull the e-brake boot on it. Loosening the center console will allow you to grab underneath it and pull the bottom of the e-brake boot to where it should be, which would not be possible without access to the part of the e-brake which is underneath the center console. Reinstall the center console when done. YOU'RE DONE!
Leather care: apply a leather conditioner with UV protection every 4-6 weeks to keep it from drying out and cracking.
