Re: Shift boot replacement question
Thanks for the heads up. I remember having problem getting it in reverse due to the way the way it engages. It has to be pretty well aligned.

Re: Hauling a motorcycle...inside the Astra?!
Nice! That's what I love about hatchbacks, specially the Astras you can pack a lot of things. :) Yeah, the motorcycle might not be one, but got a good friend who's willing to take me there. Cheers

Re: Shift boot replacement question
Mine arrived in a week or less. I was impressed how fast it arrived from the UK. Since you're in GA, it should arrive fast too since we aren't far apart.
Take some pics when you install yours :)

Re: Hauling a motorcycle...inside the Astra?!
I know, that upsets me so much lol. We def got the short end of the stick here in the states when it came to the Astra, and, well, pretty much any imported car.

Re: Hauling a motorcycle...inside the Astra?!
Ha! I didn't realize this lol. I've taken the seat off before to access the fuel pump (after cutting an access port). It's good to see the seats can be flush flat!

Re: Shift boot replacement question
Cool, let me know how your order goes. The seller has some negative feedback, as well as positive, so it can be a mixed bag. Which boot are you getting? I decided to go with the basic one to see how...
