EBrake boot coming off

The front edge of it is coming out of the plastic. How would I go about getting it back in place.

We (my wife and I) picked up a 2002 MC yesterday. I have fallen in love with the car and wish I could take it from her, but I can't let her have my truck.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Remove the boot from the handbrake console entirely by going around the boot with a plastic prying tool or a flat screwdriver wrapped with tape (to protect the plastic), lifting the inner 'frame' along with the boot. There are clips around the frame that lock into the console. Once the whole boot/frame is out, pull the part of the boot that 'escaped' back into position on the frame (you can judge how it fits by looking at other areas). Once you have it all back in place, simply snap the boot/frame back into the console.

Yeah, its just a little glue that holds it on and the leather can slip off. Here's some a tutorial:
