1. First unscrew the shift knob to take the shift boot out. 

2. Carefully pry along the trim along the edges of the boot to take it off, you can either use your hands (which I did) or a screw driver with towel wrapped around it. 

3. Now that the shift boot and its trim are out, carefully remove the vinyl boot from the frame (an x-acto knife will work great for that purpose). Clean the frame carefully with sandpaper of any glue/vinyl residue. 

4. To install the shift boot you must glue the boot in the plastic frame. Any epoxy-based glue (3M makes some great glues for that purpose) will work perfectly. Just glue the boot in (make sure the shorter stitching is facing towards the front of the car).

5. Then reinstall the boot and frame assembly (it will latch into place once you squeeze it in).

6. The same principle applies to installing the ebrake boot - pry the boot and frame out of the car...

7. ... cut off the old boot, glue the new one and re-install.

8. First, we want to pull out the ashtray.

9. Now, to remove the ashtray's frame simply unscrew these two gold screws.

10. Pull the frame up and out. The light will have to be pulled out as well.

11. Now that the ashtray frame is out, we can pull out the rear part of the armrest column. Just slide it up!

12. The rear part of the column has a little tab, which can be pried up with a screwdriver. After that, it slides out easily.

13. The front part of the armrest column coming off..

14. Now this is slightly more difficult. Lift the armrest up, and look from the front of the car towards the bottom of the armrest where it meets the column. You will see a little hole on the part that is attached to the armrest. Don't worry, look closer!

15. Now, use a small screw-driver or a similar device to push inside this hole. When pressed in, the plastic piece holding the armrest in place from the side will slide out. Repeat on the other side of the armrest.

16. The plastic piece sliding out..

17. Satisfaction! Remove the armrest.

18. The most annoying part, which is not too difficult in itself. On the black plastic part of the armrest, there are little buttons hiding the screws. They must be pried out. I found a safety pin to work well with a little coaxing..

19. All the screws and the plastic piece removed.

20. Peel off the leather and we're halfway done!

21. Slide on your new cover. Optionally, you can use spray adhesive over the whole underside of the cover.

22. Smooth it out, make certain that it fits like a glove.

23. You want to use spray adhesive along the edges. I used 3M, which is the best you can find at the average auto parts store.

24. Spray along the edges. Let is sit for a moment to get tacky.

25. Once tacky, run your hand along the edges to set the cover. Be certain to smooth over the top and fit it to the armrest as you glue.

26. Screw the bottom cover back in. Reinstall the new armrest cover in the reverse order of removing the stock one and ENJOY!!
