Yes, gear shift covers are safe to use. They are used by dealerships and other automotive businesses to protect the gear shift from dirt, dust, oil and grease. These covers are majorly used in new car dealerships, used car dealerships, service centers, etc to protect the gear shift from getting dirty after customers take the cars for a test drive.
However, remember to properly install and secure them on the gear shift. Make sure the gear shift cover is securely attached and does not slip or slide during use. A loose cover could potentially interfere with your ability to shift gears properly.
The reusability of gear shift plastic covers depends on the specific design, material, and quality of the cover. In many cases, gear shift covers, whether made of plastic or other materials, are intended for single-use or limited use.
A properly installed and properly secured gear shift cover does not interfere with gear shifting.
The plastic cover material needs to be heat resistant to withstand the temperatures of the heated gear shift lever. Polypropylene (PP) and polycarbonate (PC) are commonly used materials for gear shift covers and can handle moderate heat. However, some high-performance plastics like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) can withstand even higher temperatures. Check the cover's specifications or contact the manufacturer to confirm its heat resistance before installing it on the heated gear shift lever.
