How to Fix the Gear Knob on a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Shift knob

It is quite common for the gear knob and the handbrake lever cover to become sticky or to flake, almost as if the covering is melting. A very functional and economical solution is to apply silicone covers: this is an optimal remedy especially because you do not need to disassemble anything, just apply and overlay the cover on both the gear knob and the handbrake lever. The result is not at all makeshift and integrates perfectly.
