BMW Z3 gear knob replacement

Model: BMW Z3 MK 1 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Shift knob

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove the gear knob, together with its boot, on a BMW Z3. First of all we get inside the car and we go to unhook the gearshift gaiter; after which we remove our knob, pulling strongly upwards, as shown in the video. If it does not come out easily we can opt to cut it; after which we go to replace, if desired, the gearshift gaiter together with the new knob. To insert it correctly, let's apply a clamp between the cap and the knob or otherwise apply a sealant that holds it 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.
