Yeah, bet it will do it again. POS.Looks like you need A new shifter.
The rubber boot is open to the elements. Specifically anything coming from underneath and around the torque tube. To make things worse the C7 has more exhaust heat in there to contend with. I hope they upgraded the torque tube couplers to handle the extra heat. This material obviously can't handle but several months.All the aftermarket shifters I've seen don't even have a boot. Is the shifter tower in a place where the elements can't get to it? In other words, isn't there a large foam rubber gasket around the whole area?
Rick, you've got my rusty wheels turning.... Apparently the rubber material GM is using isn't up to the task. This obviously opens the door for an aftermarket company to develop a new product that will last and resolve the problem. The problem is when. I'm thinking perhaps the install of some heat resistant Kevlar material to simply stop any debris to enter the shift tower might work as a temporary fix. Give it some thought.The rubber boot is open to the elements. Specifically anything coming from underneath and around the torque tube.

Yeah, it could use some improvement. Other than it being a joke I'm not going to worry about it. Don't want GM to have any reason to deny my factory warrantly on this car. On all previous cars I started modding away. Not going to do that on this one being a first year model.Rick, you've got my rusty wheels turning....
