Suggestion
Find good local upholsterer (automotive preferably but it's small enough any will do) and they will be able to repair / replace covering beautifully - even dying some stock leather to match if need be.

I've searched online to no avail and contacted Suncoast parts and they couldn't find any way to replace that w/o replacing the whole thing.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking to see if it's possible to replace just the leather boot on my 986 emergency brake handle. See pic. The leather ripped down at the base. I've searched online to no avail and contacted Suncoast parts and they couldn't find any way to replace that w/o replacing the whole thing. Any ideas?

POST 2Original post

No, it's not possible. Granted I've never seen that part covered in leather, but on my 00 that portion of the handle is actually structural. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

Try https://www.redlinegoods.com/ redlinegoods dot com I ordered through them steering wheel, shifter, and parking brake covers. Very good service and decent prices. They might be able to figure something out for you. I thought I posted my experience with them, but I am unable to find this thread. Could it have been deleted?

First you need to resolve what is causing tearing as that is not a common/natural wear spot. Clearly it is rubbing on console trim (lots of sharp plastic pieces and angles there). Then, remove entire e-brake assembly (v simple - 4 frame hold down nuts, an e-brake cable tensioner bolt, and wire sensor clip). Find good local upholsterer (automotive preferably but it's small enough any will do) and they will be able to repair / replace covering beautifully - even dying some stock leather to match if need be. Good luck
