Hi I was outside trying to change my gear knob and gaitor on my mk4, seen the guids, but can't find a guid showing this sort of attachment? How do i remove this sort of attachment? I tried with plyers and the two white parts grasp into eachother gbut doesn't do anything. Any help would be great thanks!!

Bend the metal ring open so it slides off, then job done pretty much.

as above, jam a small screwdriver in there and twist it so the ring bends. Don't bend it too much if you want to use it again
