How to Remove the Gear Gaiter of the Lancia Ypsilon

Model: Lancia Ypsilon 843, MK 2, Ypsilon 2, Y2 - Years 2003-2011
Part: Shifter boot

If your gaiter is already damaged or broken and not recoverable, you will need to unclip the buttons at the top to flip the gaiter over. By detaching the last button at the neck, you can completely remove the gaiter. Also, remove the ring at the base, allowing you to proceed with replacing the various removed parts. If the new gaiter does not include it, you will need to extract the counter-ring present at the base of the leather gaiter. Now, simply reassemble everything with the new parts, retracing the steps in reverse for reassembly.
