The boot is also easy to replace.
It has a plastic ring around the inside of the boot that clips into the underside of the console.
You just squeeze inward on the boot with one hand, while releasing the plastic clips with the other.
Just take your time & you won't have any problems.
I used painters tape to protect the console while I switched out the boot.

Thanks for the tips! Thinking about replacing the one in my '06 as I have the cashmere interior with the gray boot and surrounding area. Wonder what GM was thinking with that color combo!

If you're going to change it, I would consider ds vettes. I have some stuff from them and it is great.
