shift boot wont stay up.. (EG CIVIC)

[timmya2]

the little square thing that holds it in order for it to stay up has snapped off and is slipping to the bottom exposing the thin metal lever. And ive noticed alot of other EG hatches have the same problem. Has anyone figured out a way to make it stay up? Rubberband looks ghey .. i need a more proffesional look.

you guys know wat im talkin about? if not ill post some pics.

cheers

maybe a cable tie zipped tight at teh top - and say a small cover over that to ...cover it ?

[timmya2]

still doesnt look good..

is there a way to remove the whole stock shift boot.. i may just replace it. But it looks like its knitted on there... permanently connected to the bottom.

[type one]

take off the centre console and u can remove it from the bottom... i got a spare one if you want it...

[timmya2]

um er no, get a coke bottle top, drill a hole in it, take knob off. push it on, put boot over it, done.

but take it off all together i think :thumbsup:

[timmya2]

^ very interesting.. anyone else try this?

[TYPE-ONE]

ahha coke bottle. mite get a bit annoying while ur driving. knocking around everywhere...

[egSi]

um its not the bottle, just the cap.

it makes no noise what so ever. u can also use a large washer.

its the best solution. its round and slips on :rolleyes:

[SiR JDM]

I think it looks good with a lil bit of stick revealed.. alteast with an ITR knob

[Zdster]

Why not just replace the broken piece? Couldn't cost that much to replace could it? Just go to a wrecker or Honda and ask them for it???

[civboy]

take the conslole below it off and pull the gear boot up and put a big lot of electricall tape right around where the boot sits n then put it all back down
