Default Replace Automatic and Emergency Brake Leather Boots

I just bought this car a few weeks ago the gentleman had all the handles and the leather boots in Checker board/ finish line Black and White not Into it took off the Velcro handles and ordered new Black leather boots are there any Videos on How to Remove/Install the leather boots? I have seen the videos to remove the center console and Bezel areas and removal of E brake boot seems easy. I know how to get to the boots, but haven’t seen anything on actually changing the Auto boot seen manual shift boot removal video. Nothing on the Auto shift boot Thanks.

Check this video out at about the 7:49 minute he starts to show the removal procedure.


This site also has some good written instructions you can check out.

I replaced mine and I would suggest installing a new orange gear select indicator, it takes no extra time whilst your replacing the boot and could save a lot of work later.
