How to Change the Gear Gaiter and Knob on an Opel Car

Model: Vauxhall Opel Various
Part: Shift knob

In this video, we see how to change the gear gaiter and knob on an Opel car: start by removing the panel under the handbrake, then lever off the gear gaiter that needs to be removed, pulling it off with considerable force while trying to avoid removing the entire lever, as the YouTuber did! This complicates things because you must be careful not to turn the lever, which must be refitted in the same orientation it was removed. Refit the gaiter into the designated slot, clip the metal ring into place, and then reattach the knob on top of the lever. You can find the gaiter and knob on Amazon using the code B08ZN7Z3R9 for £27.14, with free delivery for Prime customers.
