Step 1. The old boots. Pretty ugly!
Step 2. The base of the original boot is glued to a metal frame that is held to the plastic console by metal tabs. Fit a flat tool under the frame and carefully pop it up and off. Pull the old boot up and inside out, exposing the rubber O-ring that holds the boot onto the indentation on the hand-grip. Roll the O-ring down and off the grip. Remove the hand-grip from the shift stick by gripping it with both hands and turning it counter-clockwise.
Step 3. Pull the old boot and frame up and away. Pull the old boot off the frame. It is hot-glued. Take care not to twist the frame out of shape.
Step 4. Place the frame inside the new boot, checking for fit and making sure to line up the stitching as desired.
Step 5. If necessary, use a sharp tool to cut the four corners of the new boot so it folds on the corners. Take care not to cut too long a cut.
Step 6. Use a good quality glue and apply glue to the frame. Fold the leather over the frame. Use clamps (clothes pegs) to hold the leather against the glued frame. Wait until dry.
Step 7. Use this opportunity to remove the rubber "floor" of the console to wash it clean and also clean the plastic console the rubber floor sits on. It is not glued down. Make sure the rubber O-ring is on the stick, ready to pull up and onto the new boot to hold it onto the stick.
Step 8. Pull the new boot inside-out and place over the stick.
Step 9. Using a hooked tool, pull the O-ring up and over the new boot so that the O-ring fits into the groove on the base of the hand-grip.
Step 10. If you like the easier way, just cut the o-ring off and use a zip-tie instead.;).
Step 11. Pull the boot down and right-side-out. Fit the frame over the opening and push down securely. It may help to push the tabs carefully with a flat tool so they get past the plastic edge and "click in".
Leather care: apply a leather conditioner with UV protection every 4-6 weeks to keep it from drying out and cracking.
