How to remove the top plastic of the gear knob

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Shift knob

Today we will explain how to remove the top part of the gear knob of a Ford Focus car. To remove the top part and replace it, in case the gear numbers are no longer readable, we simply need to insert a flat-tip screwdriver at the base and apply pressure upwards to remove the part. It is possible to perform this action without the use of a screwdriver. To insert the top part, we need to place it on the knob and push it inwards, making the clips adhere. This operation is valid for all Ford vehicles that use the same gear knob.
