Today we will look at the main instructions for removing and replacing the gear lever gaiter on the Citroen Xsara Picasso. First, get inside the vehicle and start by prising off the gaiter from the base of the gear lever; then, also remove the gear knob by pulling it upwards (detaching any plastic clip located between the gaiter and the knob), as illustrated in the video.
