So, How in the world do you get the bezel back on... I am not even worried yet about the boot coming up, but the bezel sits so flush on the P R N D shift plate that the thickness of the leather boot will not let it slide into place...

Do I have to use some Velcro or something to secure the bezel now?

Thought I would add this here as I found this thread very useful when trying to look at options to replace the shift knob on my car

I did try the shift boot option but decided it wasn't for me so went for the M45 Infiniti knob on its own instead

Rather than fitting a shift boot I replaced the standard clip with one I made from a paperclip and slid a piece of 16mm i/d silicone hose over the bottom of the gear knob to finish it off , very easy fix

I'm thinking about cutting the shifter down a little now to get the gear knob 1-1.5" lower

Where did you get the boot from? I have the same interior and love how the stitching matches

Yeah, I have to say it's a pretty dead-on match with rest of the interior... bought it here:

In case anyone is interested.
My solution to the OEM boot pulling free/
I removed the plastic piece with the D/R/1 etc completely, reused the automatic trim pieces, both the leather one and the silver trim ring. On the OEM boot, it has holes around the base where it was retained by plastic pins on the bottom side of the manual silver trim ring. I just lined up the stitching front to back and lined up the holes around the inside of the silver trim and marked dots where the holes were. I made sure to keep the holes down low under the faint plastic seam line that you can see when you look at the outside of the trim ring as that part is hidden once inserted back into the leather trim piece. I drilled the holes and used 1/8" dia. Pop rivets pushed through from the outside then fit the corresponding hole on the bottom of the boot onto the stud and placed a small washer over that then cinched the rivet.
The nice part about this method is that you end up with the smooth dome facing outward which when the silver trim ring is placed back into the leather one adds a little bit of tension so the silver ring stays put even better than before. The heads of the rivets do not create any kind of gap, you'd never know they were there.
