FOLLOW those steps and you should be able to put on the new boot to replace the crappy vinyl OEM boot with new leather, suede, vinyl, or carbon fiber.

Very close, instead of swapping the oem tiny boot you just take it off, remove the shifter panel with the p,n,r,d from the center console and put the boot around it then put it back together.
