How long have you had it for?

**eg_08_wa** · 07-07-2010 03:54 PM

just under 24 months

my previous one, reached just under 2years, and never had an issue. Can you take some pics?
the shift boot is supposed to be leather.... funny how it's peeling.

mine peeled to shreds in less than 2 years
just took it off to show off the sexy mechanical linkages ahaha
you need to take off the center armrest and gear stick surround
4 bolts and lots of clips IIRC

I looked at a used FN2 at a dealer before
it was a 09 build and the shift boot was ripped to shreds.
the sales guy was saying it was a warranty and will change it for free
but he prob said that to sell the car.
but still less than 2 years and ripped to shreds... pretty poor

When I was looking at 2nd hand ones, a lot had this problem.. def a problem from factory, not wear and tear. One of the guys I spoke to got his replaced under warranty. So if it happens to mine I will be doing the same. If it has warranty be firm and get it replaced, dont except that they say its wear and tear..
