the gear boot is only clipped on but they are pretty tight clips... safer to take out the center console and push the gear boot out from underneath... to take the center console out
- 2 screws under cup holder
- 2 screws under theother compartment infront of the gear boot
- 2 screws at the rear foot wells (you have to move the seats forward to get at them)

No worries mate, i was going to buy one but ended up going to my local trimmer, he did a beautiful job double stitched black leather to match the rest all for $33. cheaper than the ones at autobarn and looks awesome.
