Gear Lever Gaiter and Knob Replacement

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Transmission

To remove the gear lever gaiter, first detach the knob by pulling it firmly upwards; then remove the spring and unclip the gaiter from the base of the centre console by leveraging along the edges. Apply the new gaiter, ensuring the plastic ring's fixing tabs fit correctly into their designated slots, taking care not to damage them; then reinsert the spring and knob. This replacement part is also available in the aftermarket at a reasonable price.
