AGLA - big ripoff!! (Wanted: Shifter boot w/ knob)

I installed an AGLA shift boot when I first bought the car and aside from having trouble getting the "shift pattern button" to sit right it seemed to be high quality. I found a hole down in a fold after about 3.5 years, I had expected it to last longer than that. The hole has been there over a year and is still not noticable unless you look for it, but when it gets worse I'll most likely get another one (unless Rennbay gets some leather ones
).

I might try using their leather with the original ****. I don't have any issues with the leather part of the boot, it does appear to be pretty good quality. My main issue is with their ****, since it didn't have any durability at all. I wonder what is better, try removing the leather boot from their **** and using that with my original set-up, or just calling them for a replacement? Ideas?

I can't believe the **** split. Why not just call them and tell them about it so they can send you new one? Mine is over 4 years old and is in fine shape still. Maybe you can glue the halves back together with some contact adhesive from a bicycle tube patch kit.
You know the thing is supposed to just slide on right, your not supposed to drive it on with a hammer

I made my own from a $5 pelt of fine leather. I even re-covered the armrest with it. All you need is a sewing machine and a leather-needle that won't break!!!

Wildstar,
I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience. I bought the leather shift boot from AGLA 5 or 6 years ago. It arrived exactly when they said it would and it still looks great. Hopefully things haven't changed because I was very pleased with their work.
Good Luck,
Brad

I had my steering wheel recovered with leather by them last year and I was very happy with the results and the length of time it took..
