that makes it a mess when you actually need to pull the cover.

is the part that snaps closed above or below the little 'donut' thing that you pull up for reverse? If thats up too high, though i dont thing they'd design it that bad, then unsnap it and move down a bit below that ring/donut/whatever and that should do the trick.

The plastic piece at the base of the shifter surround.

When you shift into reverse, is your boot being fully tugged from the front? You probably have the boot "velcro'd" too high up. It should sit somewhat below the collar, so you can see the top part of the plastic.
