How do you replace the gear knob in the Dacia Sandero?

Model: Dacia Sandero B8 - Years 2012-2020
Part: Shift knob

Over time, the gear shift knob of a car, especially if used intensively, may show signs of wear, such as cracks, faded colors, or in the most severe cases, may even break. This is a topic that also affects the Dacia Sandero, for which we have a video explaining how to replace the aforementioned knob: detach the leatherette boot at the base of the gear lever, turn it inside out, and cut the plastic locking strap, thereby freeing the knob which can then be grasped and pulled upwards. The installation of the new one involves placing it on the end of the same lever and pressing firmly.
