I have a silver carbon fiber Razo parking brake. It looks really nice and match perfectly with my Razo auto shifter. However, the Razo parking brake wasn't a perfect fit for the Maxima. It was made for Honda/Acura. My problem now is that the parking brake boot doesn't seem to fit perfect with the parking brake. The boot tend to slip down a bit. I pulled the boot over the end of the handle a bit so it fit and look better. Anyway, after awhile, the boot slide back down a bit. I usually pull up my parking brake when I park and release it when I head out. That might be another reason why the boot is loose because I use the parking brake often. The stock parking brake held onto the boot nicely, it was a tight/perfect fit. Anyway, anyone know how I can keep the darn boot up?

heres what i did.
i cut my stock shifter and the boot around that kept slipping down because it had nothing to grab around so i wrapped a generous amount of electrical tape around the actual stick to hold the boot up, this worked and hasnt given me any problems.

I used a piece of double-sided sticky tape for the boot to stay in the handle groove. It works perfect to me. Before I did that I found it was not that easy for the boot to slide down, but it was a little too loose, and once in a while it slid down.
