i removed my radior door, but it seems impossible to put back with the rubber piece on the way. do i just pull or do i need to remove the entire shfit boot (meaning the thing between the driver/passenger)?

scroll down to the step by step pics I posted.

 

You don't need to remove the shift boot. You just need to pull up the center console trim (I think there are 6 tabs) shift the car in to 4th, and you can move the trim back towards the secret compartment with the shift boot still on. This will get you enough clearance to get the radio door back on.

 

Yup, putting it in 4th helps a lot.

 

thank you for the link.

 

i'm sure you dont have to, but i want to. i tried to put it back without doing so, but i found it very difficult. i need to remove the entire center consol anyway to install my ipod adapter.
