How to Replace the Gear Lever Gaiter on a Fiat Panda 169

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

Replacing the gear lever gaiter is very simple as it is all secured by clips. Start by pulling the gear lever knob upwards with force, remove the spring, and detach the frame at the base of the gaiter that secures it to the centre console. Once the gaiter frame is detached, you can pull it off. Insert the new gaiter and engage the fixing tabs of the frame at the base into their respective slots in the console. Once the gaiter is secured, insert the spring and reposition the knob, aligning it and pressing it down until it clicks into place.

How to Remove the Grille on a Ford Ranger

In this video, learn how to remove the grille located on the front bumper of a Ford Ranger. Prepare to take off the plastic grille: use a socket spanner to unscrew the fasteners securing the grille (located on the inside of the bumper). With a plastic lever, pry between the grille and the bumper until it disengages from its housing. Once the grille is free, remove it from the bumper and fit a new one. Refit the grille onto the car's bumper by pressing it into place and screw the fasteners back in. Check that all parts are correctly mounted.
