How do you replace the gear knob on an Opel Astra?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Shift knob

To replace the gear knob of the Opel Astra, you will need to use a tool to pry off the clips that hold the leather cover at the base of the lever. Once these clips have been removed, you can lift the cover and disconnect the actual knob from the selector. At this point, you can position the new replacement part and secure it completely: you will need to insert the clips and then check that everything has been installed correctly.
