1. This is what the underside of the ebrake surround looks like.
2. Remove the rubber e-brake surround by gently stretching the rubber over the melted plastic tabs.
3. Trim off the flatened melted parts of the plastic pegs holding the old rubber surround in place.
4. Put fingernail polish or some other marking compound onto the pegs, then line up the new e-brake boot and push the leather onto the fingernail polish. MAKE SURE TO KEEP THE HOLES CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE BOOT, CLOSER THAN ON THE PICTURE TO YOUR RIGHT. Start very close to the edge (1/4" or less) you can always punch new ones higher in the boot if you need to.
5. Punch holes in the leather where the fingernail polish left marks. Place the boot back into the center console and push the pegs through the holes punched in the boot. You might want to put a spot of glue where the leather connects with the pegs for extra hold.
