Let's see how to install this carbon look handbrake cover that our YouTuber recommended finding on Amazon for just $24.99 with free shipping. Here's the installation: you need to lift the handbrake boot, pulling it all the way up until it comes off. Once removed, turn it inside out and take off the clip that holds it to the part covering the handbrake knob.

This will separate the leather part from the plastic part. Now, attach the leather part to the new carbon look cover with a clip: the clip goes on the tip of the cover.

Cut off the excess plastic, turn the leather back, and put the cover back on the metal part of the handbrake. Reassemble everything, and the job is done.
