Cleaning the T-5 Shifter Boot

Some manual cars have a genuine leather boot. To keep it supple and good looking, remove it from the console, then from the surround, and use the products below.

Re: Cleaning the T-5 Shifter Boot

BTW, I've noticed that some boots fall down on the shift lever. If that's the case, the shifter is probably missing the rubber piece shown below.
