The gear lever gaiter on the Fiat Tipo can deteriorate over time and may require replacement. To do this, sit in the driver's seat, use your fingers to pry along the inner edge of the chrome trim to release the inner frame, detach the chrome trim, open the button at the base of the knob, and remove the old gaiter.

On a workbench, assemble the base of the new gaiter to the chrome trim and secure it with the inner frame. Insert the assembly onto the lever, secure it at the base of the knob, and snap the chrome trim into place on the tunnel.
