Is the gear knob gaiter torn and do you want to replace it? Here’s how to replace it from the gear stick. First, disconnect the leather gaiter frame using a plastic lever (disconnect any power connectors), then unclip the locking strap.

Grip the gaiter and pull it off the stick. Fit the new leather gaiter with the plastic strap, then push it onto the stick in the centre console all the way down.

Secure the gaiter with the plastic frame (where the locking plastics are located). If the knob is damaged, replace it from the gear stick.
