help...

[[han]]

i'm off to rbav the elemetns and give my car a right good clean - unfortuantely there are millions and millions of tiny shard of glass everywhere, how do i get the surround off from around the gear stic - the bit with the squares on the top - so i can clean the years of cr*p out of it and get rid of the glass...

hmmm....... i hope it don't rain here soon.. looks liek ti though

There is a plastic frame that clips into the centre console that the gear lever gaitor attaches to.
The leather gear surround is just elasticated around the bottom so that it just grips on the plastic of the console and should just pull off.
The plastic bit in the console can also be removed though, probably with the aid of a screw driver.

If you have a rubber concertina style gear lever gaitor or your leather one is knackered, just get a replacement for about 10 quid from GSF. That's what I did.

gear gator is leather .. minus the leather... i'll take a screwdriver to it! lol.... my dads away, and my bros's gone to the skate park so i'm on my own with this one.. might have to go back to scrappy to get a console!! ha ha!! just taken 3 tinted windows out of a golf.... least they'll replace the bad scratches on mine!

Fankoo for your help!

this isnt advised but if you have protected claims bonuses and free window replacement from your insurance then smash all the glass and get some brand new etched glass

Windscreen fee is 40-50 quid from insurance. i got me a top tinted one

ive got a mint centre console if ur interested

Is this for the pug or the golf?

It's basically a little plastic square, it might be a little flimsy. But you should just be able to prise it out with a flat head screwdriver.

You shouldn't need the entire centre console.

Take the gear knob off
Squeeze the bottom of the gear lever gaitor and pull it up, it should unclip, if not, use the screwdriver to prise it out of the centre console.
Pull it off the gear lever
Attach the new leather gaitor to the plastic frame
put over the gear lever
push down into the centre console
replace gear knob.

Easy job, take a couple of minutes.
