At the base of the shift lever outer shell slice the rubber where it meets the shell inward using a razor ~ 1/16 inch. This is so that when you remove the outer shell the lower rubber flap stays behind. Mark the shell the amount that you want to remove. I used a Rigid #20 pipe cutter to do this.
Hickenlooper was viewed as a possible contender for Governor of Colorado in the November 2006 election to replace term-limited Republican Governor Bill Owens. Despite a Draft Hick campaign, he officially announced on February 6, 2006 that he would not seek the Democratic nomination for governor.
Hickenlooperâs charmed political life -- and his ability to rise above the partisan divide -- for the most part continued in 2011 when he moved across the street from the Denver City Hall to the governorâs office. He had won the gubernatorial election in a landslide, garnering 51 percent of the vote in a three-way race.
