ok, so i just ordered a cr shift boot (for the yellow stitching) and was wondering how to remove and install the new one. i searched and couldnt find a diy or how to on this topic, so any help would be helpful.

thanks!!

thanks again for all the help. i just did the install and it was super easy. 45 min tops. pics as soon as i can

 

i pulled up the center console to do my stereo and the boot comes up with it on my AP2. pull up the top section of the console beginning by sliding your fingers under the leather elbow pad and working forward. the clips are plastic, but i pulled pretty freakin hard and didnt damage em at all.

 

ok, but is there a way to do it without pulling the car apart? i mean, can u just pull up that plastic ring around the boot and do it that way? ill do it if there is no other way.

 

i have never done the job, just tellin you what i saw from the underside when i pulled up the console.

it isnt bad, i got it up first try no problem and then it is pretty idiot proof to snap it back down in place.

 

ok thanks

anyone else?

Install is for an AP1 - but basically the same.

Just note that on the AP2 there ARE different screw sizes, so note that as you remove them.

VERY easy install. GL.

thank you sir. that information is quite helpful. once the boot comes in i will do it.

 

dang, i wish i had found that when i did a boot swap. we have the same MY06. so the directions are the same but we have some different screws. there is one screw i think under the roof switch, you have to remove the roof switch to get to it. and there are 3 other screws you have to get to before that ring comes off.

on the boot, i just took of the old black stitching and replaced it with red, and i think it looks awesome.

 

where can i find a black leather (not suede) boot with red stitching?

 

did it my self. there is quite a few. i think when i was looking GT had them (gotuning)
