How to Replace the Gear Gaiter on the Opel Meriva

Model: Vauxhall Meriva Meriva A, MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Shifter boot

Want to replace the gear gaiter on the Opel Meriva? Let’s see how to do it in this video: detach the gaiter frame from the plastic covering on the centre console (cut the plastic tie with side cutters). Once the gaiter to be replaced is removed, install the new piece. Reassemble: attach the gaiter to the plastic frame, then insert the cover onto the gear stick (secure the tie as shown in the video). Lower the gaiter until it clicks into place in the plastics of the centre console. Test the correct fitting of the previously installed parts.
