The instructions in this guide will show you how to remove and replace the gaiter and gear knob of the manual gear lever on a Citroën C4. First, get inside the cabin and start detaching the gaiter found at the base by prying it from the sides; then detach the clip found between the gaiter and the knob by pulling the knob upwards until it detaches and removes it from the lever, as shown in the video.

At this point, install the new gear knob, inserting the new gaiter first; install a new clip between the gaiter and knob.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
