Console repair

I was wondering if any of you had fixed this issue before, getting the vinyl sides tight against the shifter, if so how did you go about doing this .....?

Here check this out! Mine was the same as your pic. I followed the steps and glued it with clamps. Looks like new now. Trick is to clean the clue off it good first. Check this out Bro..

No Prob Bro! I fixed mine without having to take it out.Just unscrewed the shifter face plate pulled the pin on the shifter ****. Took it off then the shifter plate. Cleaned up the old glue really good and use Epoxy Glue with some small clamps. Left it for a day just to be safe. It's a common problem with the shift consoles. Good luck! Cheers....
