Renault Kangoo 2008–2020 Gear Shift Boot Leather Black

This is a gearshift lever boot (dust cover) made of genuine leather, black, for Renault Kangoo 2008–2020 — the second generation, known as “Renault Kangoo 2”. The set includes 1 boot: the gear knob and plastic frame are not included; the new boot is fastened to the factory console frame. It is not intended for Kangoo 1998–2008 or Kangoo/Express from 2021, and for 2008 vehicles first determine the generation by photos of the gear lever and console; the same boot is also available in grey.

In search results and in conversations, this boot is also called a “shift linkage boot”, a “skirt under the gearbox”, or a dust boot. The factory boot on Kangoo cracks over the years at the folds and wears through where it’s touched by a hand, while a new leather one restores a neat look to the center console and covers the assembly under the lever again.

When it’s worth replacing the boot

• cracks or tears have appeared on the factory boot at the folds;
• the surface has peeled or worn through where it’s touched by a hand;
• the boot has split at the seams or is sagging, and the linkage mechanism is visible underneath;
• you want to refresh the interior without changing the knob and other console parts.

Compatibility

The product is designed for Renault Kangoo model years 2008–2020 and is listed in the catalog only for this model. For the first Kangoo 1998–2008 and for the new Kangoo/Express from 2021, choose accessories on the pages for your models. Owners of 2008 vehicles should be especially careful: it’s a transition year, and cars of both the first and second generation were sold, and their interior parts are not interchangeable. If you’re not sure which generation you have, send the manager photos of the gear lever and the center console — that’s easier than guessing by year.

Material and package contents

• Material — genuine leather. In reviews, buyers most often note the quality of the leather and stitching, and that after replacement the shift linkage area looks better than with the factory boot.
• Color — black. For those with a lighter interior, there is the same grey gearshift boot.
• Package contents — 1 gearshift lever boot. The gear knob and the boot’s plastic frame are not included.
• Manufacturer — Digital Designs.

Installation

The boot installs in the factory locations — in place of the old one, without modifying the console. Since the frame is not included, the new boot is attached to the factory frame: remove it from the console, remove the old boot from it, fasten the new one, and reinstall the frame. Therefore, before replacement, check that the factory frame is intact and its clips are not broken, and remove it carefully — plastic clips are easy to damage. Buyers write in reviews that the replacement is simple and the boot fits like an original part. If the gear knob is also worn, it’s convenient to replace both parts at once: the knob and the boot can be bought separately or you can choose a version where they come together.
