Normal wear and tear or?

Is this normal wear and tear or is it covered by warranty? The shifter boot is starting to flake. it has 15000 miles on it.

 

get a grip - take it back to the dealer and ask!! (i "spect that is normal wear and tear)

 

Does anyone know the part number for this? Or if there are after market options? Mines a 5spd but its also flaking off but i have over 200k. Looking to find a replacement. Any input would be greatly appreciated

I'd say excessive wear & tear for that kinda mileage.

 

I'd ask dealer. Mine has 45K and looks better.

 

Thanks man

Mine has 34k and looks brand new

 

Its a real cheap piece of foam coated fabric. Simple enough part though, buy (or salvage) a small piece of black LEATHER, and sew one up.

 

If it were me and they didnt cover warranty replacement, i would look at redlinegoods. They make nice stuff for the miata community from what i have seen.

 

Those are NICE!!

Do you use a ton of hand lotion or sunscreen?

 

Bingo. I was about to ask the same thing.

OP - Do you use ANY sort of product on your hands on a regular basis?

I've mentioned this in past threads but, I do detailing, and women and their millions of skin products is flat out havoc on a car's interior. Constant exposure to emulsifiers and creams eats through most soft finishes.

 

Update had to get the Service done on it they said that it was covered they think that the boot was not installed incorrectly at factory that makes sense now as I look at it the seams are all out of wacked.
