04+ MAZDA3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


  

1. Begin by removing the shift knob. This is threaded, and should screw right off. 

 

2. Next, open the center console, and remove anything that might be in it.

 

3. Grab the front of the cover right in front of the center console, and gently tug upward.

4. Continue to pull upward on the cover, sliding further and further toward the front over the car. The entire cover, including the cup holders, is held in place only by clips.

5. Once the cover is loose, remove it from the center console. You might need to turn it sideways to maneuver it around the parking brake. 

 

6. Once the cover is removed, flip it over. There are four Philips headed screws that need to be removed to remove the shift boot. Take these screws out, and the boot will come out (with the rectangular plastic holder).

7. Slip the ebrake boot on.

8. Simply put the new boot in place on the rectangular plastic holder (small round plastic peg goes in front), and put everything back together. You will need to remove the top trim piece from the old boot and install it on the new one as well.

 

9. Finally, screw the shift knob back on. 

ENJOY YOUR NEW LEATHER BOOTS!

 

Useful tip

You have installed a product made out of genuine leather. As you know, to maintain a leather product in good condition, you should take care of it. We suggest occasionally (every 4-6 week for example) applying some leather conditioner/UV protector to keep your leather from drying up in the sun and cracking.
