Fiat Scudo 1996-2007 Leather Gear Shift Boot

Description

Leather gearshift boot — a black genuine leather gear lever boot for Fiat Scudo first generation 1996–2007. It installs in the factory mounting points instead of the worn original boot; manufacturer — Digital Designs. The same boot (part number KOZ025) fits the Scudo “twins” as well — Citroen Jumpy 1996–2007 and Peugeot Expert 1995–2007.

Will the boot fit your Scudo

The boot is designed for the first-generation Scudo, produced from 1996 to 2007 (with the 2004 facelift). It is not intended for the second-generation Scudo that appeared in 2007 — it requires a different boot. Since 2007 is a transition year, for cars of that year ориентируйтесь not by the registration document but by the interior: the easiest way is to send the manager a photo of the gear lever together with the frame.

How to install the gearshift boot

The boot is supplied without a new plastic frame — the factory one is used. The process is simple: remove the gear knob, carefully pull out the frame together with the old boot, detach the old boot from the frame and secure the new one to it, then snap the frame back into place and reinstall the knob. The job takes little time and does not require special tools. Since there is no separate frame in the kit, remove it carefully so as not to break the clips.

Why you should replace a worn boot

The factory gear lever boot cracks over time at the folds and tears: dust appears in the cabin, and cold air and noise come from the tunnel. A new genuine leather boot restores a neat look to the center console and covers the shift linkage mechanism. Buyers write in reviews that the boot fit the Scudo, including the version with the 1.9 diesel from 1998.

How to care for the leather boot

Genuine leather keeps its appearance for a long time if you don’t let dirt soak into the folds. Every few weeks, wipe the boot with a soft damp cloth, and seasonally treat it with an interior leather care product: it will keep the leather from drying out and cracking at the folds. Do not use aggressive cleaners and solvents.

What to pair it with

• Gear knob (leather) — a separate product for Scudo 1996–2007 made of genuine leather; the knob and boot are often replaced together so the interior looks cohesive.
• Other boots — in the Fiat Scudo gearshift boots section, the rest of the accessories — on the Fiat Scudo 1996–2007 tuning page.
