INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Start by removing the gear shift knob. The easiest way to do this is put the shifter in D with engine off and Ebrake ON! You will see a little torx screw in back of the shifter handle. Get a T15 torx driver and remove the screw. Now you lift the shifter BOOT up (you will hear it unclip) and you will see a little wiring harness , unclip it and pull the shifter handle off, now the boot comes off!
2. Once the shifter is removed, remove the old boot and bracket by simply pushing in the front end (the side nearest the emergency brake) until you can remove the bracket.
3. The ebrake boot just slips off, there is nothing holding it in place.
4. Remove the original boots from their brackets as we'll need these for the install. Clean the frame with an alcohol swab.
5. With either gorilla-glue or hot-glue,glue the new boot to the mounting frame. Remember to keep the edges flush so that the leather does not come any lower than the old rubber boot. This is extremely important.
6. Allow the glue to dry over night.
6. Open the center console lid and you will see (3) 7MM screw holding down the hinge. Remove the 3 screws and the lid will come right off. Under the center console lid is a plastic piece that needs to be removed to install the leather cover. There are 4 phillip screws (all the same length) and (2) 7MM screws for the hinge. Once these scrws are removed the plastic piece will pop right off.
7. Reinstall everything in the reverse order of removal.
CONGRATULATIONS - YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED 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.
