Want to replace the gear gaiter on a Fiesta? Here's how to remove the knob with the gaiter. Detach the gaiter frame from the plastic covering on the centre tunnel, lift the gaiter upwards (cut the plastic tie with wire cutters).

Once the old gaiter is removed, install the new piece. Unscrew the knob from the top of the gear stick.

Fit the gaiter onto the plastic frame, then insert the covering onto the gear stick, lowering the gaiter until it clips into the plastics of the centre tunnel. Replace the knob if damaged.
