1. Get tools ready. A) Hot glue gun w/ one stick. B) Screwdriver.
2. Remove 4 screws. There are 2 on each side. You might need to unbolt seat(s) to get to it. Also don’t forget to unscrew your shift knob (not shown). Start lifting it up.
3. Unplug the harnesses for the power windows (red arrows) and remove the inner rubber piece. Some folks leave this in. I opted to rip it out.
4. Make sure the boot facing the right way. In my case, the double stitching (red arrow) is towards the rear, and single stitch is towards front.
5. Apply some glue between the plastic tab from console & leather from boot. My boot was trimmed already in this fashion, so I simply used that as a guide.
6. As you can see, it would look something like when done. This helps with the fitting. Now snap this piece back in to console.
7. After snapping the plastic back in place (red arrow), you can see that lot’s of gaps exist (yellow arrow).
8. Even more so when I flip the console over. Now you need to start gluing inside.
9. Start by gluing the other end first, then glued different points, from side to side.
10. Always make sure to flip the console over after each 'set' of parallel glue points to make sure no gaps exist.
11. I went around all the edges with the leftover glue I had, just in case. I don’t think this is needed if your glue skills are awesome. Mine aren’t. Better safe then sorry.
12. Now you can put the console back and reverse your steps. a) Put console back on w/harnesses plugged b) Screw shift knob back on c) Put the 4 screws back in
Useful tip
You have installed a product made out of genuine leather. As you know, to maintain a leather product in good condition, you should take care of it. We suggest occasionally (every 4-6 week for example) applying some leather conditioner/UV protector to keep your leather from drying up in the sun and cracking.
