3. Flip over the console piece you just removed, and take out the four
bolts holding on the plastic retainer for the actual shift boot. A 7/32 inch or
5.5 mm will work.
Pull back the tabs on the rubber shift boot, and pull off the plastic base.
Put the holes from the leather shift boot over the same tabs. It will only fit
one way.
Turn your shift boot inside out, and push the shift knob as high up as you
can. This is the tricky part, because you will have to use string to tie the
leather the the actual knob to where it is tight enough to stay, but loose
enough to where you can still turn the knob. I had to fight with mine several
times and will probably end up just taping the boot to the actual knob as a
simpler method than the string.
Turn your shift boot right side out, and screw the plastic base plate back
onto the center console. DO NOT tighten them very much as you are screwing into
pretty thin and possibly brittle plastic. Put the console back into it’s proper
place, screw it in at the rear of it, and the clips at the front. Put the second
part of the console back into place making sure to re-install the screws and
trim clips. |
