The same people sell very good stretchy boots, which are not much harder
to fit and way more reliable. Well done for having got sticky boots to
work, but you're in a minority, or so experience in
uk.rec.cars.maintenance suggests.

I have watched people struggle with them, thing is if you are going to
remove one end of the shaft to get a stretch one on you may as well just put
a OEM one on, I only use them for speed, I keep spares in the shed just
encase, the big secret is to clean the mating surfaces your going to put the
glue on first, with something like alcohol or cassette head cleaner,

I tried one once on a scirocco. They are very fiddly: I gave up and just
used an OE one. It was easier.
