In this video, we can see how to change the automatic gear knob on the Opel Zafira C: first, obtain the knob, which can be found on eBay under code 392641016241 for £33.94 with free delivery. Using a plastic spatula, pry off the trim from the base of the gear lever until it comes out of its housing, and pull up the gaiter to expose the clip that connects it to the shaft; cut it to separate it from the knob, and pull the knob off with force.

Now place the new knob in its position, and with a new clip, secure it back to the knob. Pull down the gaiter and replace the trim in its housing.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
