Boot

I may have a solution 

my boot which is from a different year always was coming loose 

well I've changed all Velcro so far everything seems to be locked in place  I will post if it it works after a long ride!

did you replace it so there is velco all around? mine has the weird square plastic snaps...velcro may be a good alternative, I never use it because its a pain to install

No just replaced original Velcro on the vert not boot.  boot velcro like new but Velcro warn or sun damaged on car side also replaced Velcro along  frame that holds headliner in place , those plastic clips only hold the boot in place as long as the Velcro is holding the boot down  

You are right about the boot being difficult to put on, terrible design

Yes, these boots are difficult to put on. I changed out all the velcro on my 94. Made a world of a difference.

How did you replace the velcro at the rear of the car.  Mine is stitched in.

The Velcro at the well is sown, upostry shop, too expensive. Got inventive.

bought aluminum bar stock, Velcro, 

measured length needed, also figure the existing screws to utilize the end screws, drilled two more on either side of pass thru

Wrap the bar stock , kind of hard because it was the plastic part of the Velcro, clamped it down for a couple days to help form the Velcro around the bar stock. 

Screwed it in place, worked for me. 

The pictures hopefully will give you a visual of what l’ve done.
