Shift knob and boot

[Jase]

Hey guys'

I'm just wondering, since i'm pretty sure alot of you will have the same problem as me, for example.. i have the spoon duracon shift knob.. but once i installed it.. the OEM shift boot falls all the way down.. and its not aesthetically pleasing anymore' its like a metal stick ! kinda ugly' how do you all keep the shift boot from sliding down???

ive heard of some people using the twisty things that come with bread loafs. twisting it around the shifter then putting the boot over it. it wont let the boot slide down.

Rubber bands... A lot of them.

take the center console off. Cut a piece of rubber tubing big enough to fit around the "stick" and long enough to come up just under the knob.

Run the tube over the stick and it should be big enough to hold the boot up. Add knob and you're done.

or use a shitload of rubber bands.

Or just use black electrical tape and slide the boot over it, won't slide down, and won't rattle.

they actually make alil piece for this problem, it it goes over the shifter and has like 3 tabs on it that goes inside the top of the leather boot. It is made to stop the boot from goin all the way down to the bottom. Im almost positive mine came with my dc sports shift knob.

i just wrapped electrical tape around and around, works fine

i used black zip ties

On the outside of the boot?

Using electrical tape around the shifter and pulling the boot over it is probably the best bet, imo.

EBP's idea is prolly best. i have a look a like boot, i pulled it up to the part where u put the three screws in and just pulled it hella tight... but whatever works ya know.

or get the si knob, si boot as they have clips that actually snap into place to hold the knob to the boot
