How do you maintain shift knobs on a Toyota 4Runner?

To ensure a long life for your SUVs shifter, perform regular maintenance on them.

  • For leather boots and knobs, use a specially formulated leather cleaner to moisturize the leather and clean off any oils that may have accumulated on them.
  • Remove dust and debris with a soft microfiber cloth to ensure that neither the dust nor the cloth has a chance to scratch acrylic shifters.
  • Just like with other leather surfaces in your 4Runner SUV, regular sun exposure can lead to fading and cracking over time. Consider using a sun shield to protect your shift knob and boot from direct exposure to harmful UV rays.
  • Since its constantly coming in contact with your hands, make sure your hands are free from grease, oil, or abrasive chemicals before using your shift knob.
