As shown in this tutorial, replacing the handbrake gaiter in the Mini Cooper is an extremely simple and quick task. To do this, you will need a plastic spatula to avoid leaving any marks.

First, unclip the gaiter from the base by prying around the entire perimeter, then turn it inside out and cut the plastic tie that holds it to the lever. Once removed, separate the base from the old gaiter and attach it to the replacement.

Finally, remove the edge of the button, take off the cover, and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
