Replacement of Gear Shift Gaiter and Knob

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Shifter boot

Here’s a nice accessory that is easy to install. Obtain the kit and proceed as follows: use a flathead screwdriver to pry between the plastic of the knob and the base until the cover is removed. Unscrew the knob from the gear stick. Carefully remove the knob and slide off the gaiter covering the gear lever. Refit the gaiter onto the base by adhering the two strips of Velcro inside the gaiter and tighten the opening using insulating tape or, preferably, a plastic tie. Reposition the gaiter in its housing. Fit the new knob, which will be secured to the gear lever using an Allen key on a threaded bolt.
