Step 1. First, remove the center console plasic cover over the stock shift boot by pulling upwards. It is held in by friction.
Step 2. Next, unscrew the shift knob from the lever by twisting it counter-clockwise. Now, remove the screws (standard screws are shown, but the OEM screws are Phillips head) from the shift boot metal bracket where it meets the center console. The shift boot should now be able to slide off of the shift lever.
Step 3. Carefully remove the metal bracket from the stock shift boot with a blade or similar tool. You may wish to clean any excess glue from the bottom of the bracket with a blade or sandpaper. Test fit the new boot to the metal bracket to make sure the holes in the boot line up with the ones in the bracket. You may wish to use some automotive interior glue to adhere the boot to the metal bracket. This is not mandatory though. A couple of pins through the small holes in the bracket will hold the boot to the bracket at its front edge. Next, you'll want to fasten the boot to the shifter. You can flip the boot inside-out and zip-tie it to the shifter. Alternately (which is shown) you can wrap the leather through a large washer so the shift knob will sandwich the shift boot between the washer and the shift knob. It just helps create a tighter friction fit.
Step 4. Reinstall your shift knob by threading it on clockwise. If you glued your new boot to the metal bracket, simply line up the holes on the bracket with the center console and install the screws. If not, set the bracket over where it will be mounted. Now slip the shift boot under the bracket, but over the mounting location and loosely install one of the mounting screws (just a couple turns). Work around the shift boot until all four are loosely fastened, then go around tightening them with a screwdriver. Finally, reinstall the plastic center console cover.
Leather care: apply a leather conditioner with UV protection every 4-6 weeks to keep it from drying out and cracking.
