Change Gear Knob
« on: 26 November 2010, 21:20 »
I've finally bought my MK4, and have to do a few little jobs to her tomorrow, one of which is to change the tired looking gear knob and gaiter for a nice shiny new one (gen mk4)

How to I get the old one off?  :embarassed:

Thanks

Toby

Pull it up from the 4 corners of the gaiter as there are little clips. I normally start at the back passenger  side and unclip them then pull it backward to release the front
