Column shifter boot wear

[Ostracize]

Okay, what adhesive did you use? I’ve tried Permatex Black weatherstrip adhesive and 3M weatherstrip adhesive. Both of them refuse to stick to the “old” boot.

Was way too busy to deal with the boot previously as it's a small and minor thing that doesn't affect truck's operation, but my 5 years extended warranty was running out and on my last "free" oil change I've asked the dealer to fix it. They got back to be said it wasn't covered under my extended premium warranty and they've had none in stock anyways. So I'm stuck with one with a hole in it for now, read through the tread and I think I'm gonna make one up myself - the stitch boot design is very simple but she doesn't even use real leather so I don't want that.

Just a follow up post for everyone interested. Following the beta version I sent it back along with some suggested changes to how it attaches at the column as well as a new OEM boot for comparison.

In the meantime the guy working on them has been out with covid for a bit as well which has slowed things down. Now that he's returned things are moving forward. I spoke to him today and he's expecting to have an updated version shipping out to me next week for testing. I'll follow up here again with more info as soon as I have some.
