Replacement gear knob on Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Shift knob

Begin the work by extracting the gearshift gaiter from its seat, simply by pulling it by hand. If you find yourself in difficulty, help yourself with a plastic wedge. Raise the headset as high as you can, then lower the black circular retainer and remove the metal clamp with a flathead screwdriver, as shown in the video. At this point you can remove the headset and the gear knob from the side. Insert the knob and the new boot in the correct direction, indicated by the groove on the gear lever. Proceed backwards, thus tightening with the metal clamp and then inserting the cap in place.

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
