1. Pull the bottom of the ebrake boot assembly straight up, starting from the back side.
2. Continue pulling the assembly up until all of the clips are released.
3. Lift the assembly up and slide the fabric up and over the brake handle. It will slip over it and the boot assembly will now be free.
4. The stock vinyl is glued to the plastic frame.
5. Carefully peel the stock vinyl from the plastic frame by lifting it up from the corners. The stock adhesive is not too strong and it should come off fairly easy without tearing.
6. Apply contact cement or any industrial adhesive to the front and the edges of the plastic frame on the back side.
7. Line up the new boot and press down on the front side to adhere it and make sure it is flat against the plastic. Fold the edges of the new boot over the plastic and press down onto the adhesive.
8. Use clips to hold the new boot down while the adhesive dries.
9. When the adhesive has dried, remove the clips.
10. Inspect the boot to make sure all edges are properly secured. To reinstall into the car, reverse steps 1-3, slipping the new boot over the handle and pushing the clips down into place (this may require some added force with the leather option as it is now a bit thicker overall.)
