Replacement of the gear lever gaiter of the Opel Astra G

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Shifter boot

To change the gear lever gaiter of the Opel Astra, start by removing the plastic panel under the handbrake lever. This will give you access to two screws, once removed, take off the front plastic part and then detach the base of the gaiter and lift it up. Cut the zip tie that secures the gaiter to the knob base and remove the old gaiter. Insert the new gaiter and place the base back in its position, reposition the front plastic part, screw in the two screws, secure the top of the gaiter to the knob base using the provided zip tie, and insert the plastic panel under the handbrake lever. The aesthetic result would have been better if the zip tie had been kept inside.
