I got both of them. The shift boot is perfect! I asked them to make it about an inch shorter so it wouldn't bunch up...it looks great. The ebrake is another matter. The opening for the ebrake handle is way too small. It also appears to be about a 1/2 inch shorter in the back. I managed to email Maciek a couple pictures and they're making another boot for me. Hopefully it will fit. It should since he can see the problem. He's very helpful and eager to please. BTW, thanks for the install pix Christine. Using the needle nose pliers made it a piece of cake the remove the console.

I'm sure that Redline will make everything right. Good idea on taking the pictures to show him. Glad the pictures were helpful. A big thanks goes to Paul for writing up the how-to.  Keep us posted.

Thanks, Christine. Tom, are you sure the e-brake boot was fitted correctly on the frame? The opening is tight, but it will fit with some effort. I surprised that the boots would vary that much from the template.

It was on the frame right. The opening was barely big enough to FORCE the release button through it. No way would the handle go through it.

That's not surprising because they probably removed the stitching in order to use your original boot as the template.

I hope mine fits OK as Maciek didn't ask me to send my old one in for comparison.

He has mine, which is why I'm surprised yours didn't fit.

Well, I got the replacement boot Saturday. Didn't get a chance to put it on until Monday. The darn (sp?) thing still doesn't fit! The hole for the handle is fine but it's too short in the back. When the brake is on/up, it's OK but when the brake is released/down, it's too short and pulls the boot off the frame. I tried it twice, same result. I emailed Maciek Monday night but no answer yet. This is getting old. I don't see why it's so hard to make something right, especially when you have the original to use as a pattern.

Wow! I don't understand what happened.
Hopefully you will get a reply back soon! I'm sure they will make it right, but I can see where it would get old having to keep sending it back.
