ok after looking at the nitro web forum...does every one have a boot with a zipper?

rickm · **Posted:** Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:20 am

mine has a zipper, but the zipper has no tab to pull it closed with.

I have not experienced that once on my KK, and I use the parking brake alot living up a steep drive. Warranty!

well i guess im not the only one with this problem right now..the parts are on national back order for at least 2 weeks

hey, you're in Colorado... maybe that thing just got too cold and cracked

I haven't checked, is that thing made of leather? Maybe some sort of protectant, armor all or something like that might be in order.

Hey, I just noticed.. where did you get your seat covers Digger? Those look pretty nice. I can't seem to find any nice ones here. All we have is the same exact sets in every auto parts store in town.

Maybe I should start using leather protectant on that as well. I try to not use armor-all because it tends to make things crack sooner and overall dulls things you put it on. I used to love using armor-all on my dash with my previous Accord...and now I know better, haven't used that stuff in years.

I just noticed a small crack forming in the leather of my parking brake boot as well... will have it looked at the next time I take it in for service. Thanks for posting this, because it caused me to look!

I was just over at Big Lots a couple of weeks ago. I'll have to go back and see if they have those here. Is it fairly heavy fabric? Everything I see in the auto parts stores are cheap junk and fairly expensive.

no mot really, they are a mid weight so to speak and they fit great... the only other place i might direct you is to walmart... but so far, they have been great... i will get you a full shot later

It's on the bottom of the parking brake boot where the zipper is. It runs perpendicular to the parking brake handle. I'll try to take a picture of it and post it if you'd like to see it. At this point it's very small, and hasn't gone all the way through.

ok here is the manufacturer.....http://www.winplususa.com/seatcovers.html

and some pictures

If that is a zipper on that boot all you need is the right tool to zip it right back up. I can;t think of the name of the tool but it looks like a pair of needle nose pliers with some funky ends on the tip. You just clamp it on the zipper where it came undone and pull it like a zipper tab and it zips right back up.

Here is what i am talking about. Hope it helps.

I wish that could be done, but there is no pig tail so to speak below the center so its a no go...its kinda like when the zipper goes on you pants and the zipper is all the way up

Check with a Boot shoe repair shop and they have heavy duty sowing machines for boots they can normally supply the zipper or you can search one out since the dealership has a back order situation maybe they would accept the bill and reimburse you. Just a thought and maybe get a better zipper at the same time. :wink:
