Do you want to replace the gear knob and gaiter on an Opel Zafira? Here's how to do it: use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather gaiter frame (plastic), remove the side plastics (unscrew the securing screws). Hold the gear knob and rotate it left and right until it is removed from the gear stick (cut the plastic tie). For reassembly: take the new knob and slide it onto the stick in the centre console, tighten it onto the stick; install the new leather gaiter with the clips and all the covering plastics.
