This shift boot simply snaps into place; no removal of parts is necessary. Locate the plastic slots on the underneath side of the consol.
You will need to carefully snap the wire frame of the shift boot into these. There are seven altogether. (Note: The front and back only have plastic ledges that the shift boot frame butts up against. The sides actually have slots that the frame must slide into.)
Remove the wire from the factory boot, it is sewn in there pretty tight so it will need cutting it up:
The RedlineGoods boot has a folded hem at the bottom. Wedge the wire inside the hem.
To ensure a tight fit with the consol, it is recommended that you reshape the boot frame by putting a slight arch in the wide end.
Next, lower the entire frame into the consol opening below the hooks. You will bring it up from the bottom into the slots.
From here, all you need to do is work the frame into the plastic slots, taking your time and fitting one spot at a time. The whole boot frame will not snap into place at one time – you have to work your way around the perimeter. It is best to pinch the boot and and pull up on it since there is no good way to grab the frame.
Once you have the entire frame resting in the slots, push up and back on the frame at each slot location to ensure a snug fit.
The finished product:
To install the armrest cover, please follow this procedure:
Once you wrap it, you definitely need to glue the cover down on the bottom edges (at the very least, however we do recommend glueing the top also to make sure it always sits flat on the armrest).
If you don’t glue it, it will be very hard to reinstall as the working room is very tight with the bottom half of the armrest lid still mounted in the car and on the hinges. You will just struggle to try to hold the leather tight, nice and flat, and reassemble in that awkard position. Might be
feasible with a second set of hands but really, gluing is the best way to go.
