Anyone know where I can get a new black rubber boot thing that goes around the e-brake where it goes into the console?

I bought a used console off EBay that has a good boot. Have not put it on yet though. Its held on by that funky heat push pin kinda thing (real scientific).

How do you take these things apart?

I got a replacement boot from my dealer...



I regards to the person who asked how you take it apart, if your center counsel is anything like the one in my 96 it's not fun.

Basically, the counsel is molded with tabs on the underside of it. They lay the boot over these tabs and melt the tabs on top of the boot securing it in place.

So, unless you can re-heat and reshape these tabs to get a new boot over them and then reheat them again to mash them on top of the new boot... well, you get the point. Virtually all of the little tabs on my center counsel snapped off when I was trying to accomplish this. It is beyond frustrating.

I just ended up purchasing a leather e-brake boot from redlinegoods.com and installed it using, of all things, velcro. Completely removable and you couldn't ever notice it was held on by velcro unless you got an inch away from the counsel...
