Review on Dorman 47996 Shift Boot: Upgraded for Ford and Mercury Models, Enhancing Performance by Vinny Howard

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Won't stay in place, rubber tabs are too small and flimsy, poor seal around the lever

The boot has a couple of tabs that are used to hold the boot in place. However, they are either too small or too flexible because the trunk keeps slipping out of the plastic steering wheel cover. Any light tap will pop it out, including a light touch when removing the key. It pops up almost every day. In addition, after 8 months of use, the rubber no longer sits snugly on the shift lever (see fig.).

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Slightly torn
