Opel Vivaro 2001–2015 Leather Gear Shift Boot

Description

This leather gear shift boot (dust cover for the gear lever) is a gear lever boot for Opel Vivaro first generation (Vivaro A) model years 2001–2015, for both pre-facelift and the facelift after 2007. It is sewn from black genuine leather; the set includes one lever boot; the gear knob and plastic frame are not included, and the boot is installed on your factory frame.

What’s included and what is the boot made of?

• Application: gear lever boot Opel Vivaro 2001–2015.
• Material: genuine leather, color black.
• Package contents: 1 gear lever boot, without frame and without knob.
• Installation type: in the OEM location, on the factory frame.
• Manufacturer: Digital Designs.

At the top, the boot is tightened with a cord around the lever so it sits straight and doesn’t shift during gear changes.

Will the boot fit Renault Trafic and Nissan Primastar?

Opel Vivaro A, Renault Trafic II, and Nissan Primastar are built on the same platform and have the same interior, so it’s the same boot with the same part number. For convenience, it is listed separately for each model:

The transition year 2007, when the front end changed, does not affect the interior: the lever and frame are the same. If your vehicle is from 2014–2015, first confirm the generation — by the shape of the front end and the instrument panel, because Vivaro B has a different center console.

How is the lever boot different from the gear knob?

The gear knob, lever boot, and lower frame are three different parts, and they are sold separately. The boot is the leather “skirt” between the knob and the console: it covers the opening around the lever from dust, sand, and moisture and refreshes the look of the interior. It is called in different ways — “gear lever dust cover,” “shift linkage boot,” “gearbox boot” — but it refers to the same part.

If the old knob is already worn, it’s convenient to replace it together with the boot: options are collected in the section gear knobs for Opel Vivaro 2001–2015.

How to install the gear shift boot on Vivaro?

The old boot is removed together with the factory frame: carefully detach the frame from the console without breaking the plastic clips. The new boot is attached to the frame the same way the factory one was attached, the lever is passed through the boot, the frame is snapped into place, and the cord is tightened. After installation, check that the boot does not interfere with shifting into all gears.

Before replacement, inspect the frame: if its clips are broken, the new boot will not sit straight. Installation is also available in the network of certified DD Tuning service centers — the manager will tell you the nearest one.
