Default How do I keep my shiftboot attached to my shiftknob?

I got shortshifter and type-r shiftknob in my car, and the shiftboot is drooping low. It looks ugly, and I wanted to know if there's a way to keep the boot attached to the knob. Thanks.

there is no way you can do this, unless you glue them together, but that will look ugly as well.

I think it looks 'ok' like that... but if it really, really bothers you, I'm pretty sure the Momo boots and knobs thread together. Don't try and glue anything, you'll just end up making a huge mess and ruining something.

I agree. I thought maybe there was a way to do it, by a way of pins or something. My thanks to everyone.

you could also do a color matched tie strap around the top of it then turn the latch(after trimming the excess off) to the back
