Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Gearshift gaiter
Operation: Replacement of the gear lever gaiter of the Opel Astra G

Insert the new gaiter and place the base back in its position, reposition the front plastic part, screw in the two screws, secure the top of the gaiter to the knob base using the provided zip tie, and insert the plastic panel under the handbrake lever. The aesthetic result would have been better if the zip tie had been kept inside.
