    Good morning everyone, a drink got spilled on the hand brake and I was able to clean up the stickiness for the most part except for in the cracks and crevices in the boot cover. A detail wipe reaches in it but doesn’t have enough grip to get the gunk out. What should I use?

    If you’re really bored try a toothbrush.

    It's a small quirk, but it's one of my complaints about the truck. Easy to live with. But I had a Mazda 3 before this, and the handbrake was way lower profile and easier to clean.

    (I had an auto so no shifter boot either).

    Remove the console. Engage ebrake, pull down foreskin on shifter then rub the knob off. Then open center storage console and pull up. Once loose pull the whole thing out while pulling the ebrake foreskin off, it is tight but it should be. It's pretty easy

    I use 3D's LVP and a few microfiber interior rags.

    Don't drink things that are sticky, they're not water and bad for your body.

    Not even sure why Toyota included the foreskin on these. It should've been circumsized from the factory in my opinion.
