How to replace the gear knob of the Saab 9-3.

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Shift knob

The replacement of the gear knob in your Saab 9-3 second series (year 2002-2014) is a very simple operation. First, make sure you have a perfectly compatible new knob. Then, remove the old knob by pulling it upwards with force. Next, install the new knob and you're done. Check for any lateral play and personally test the correct functioning by making a few test shifts. If there are any abnormal movements, don't worry, you can simply remove and reinstall it again.

This video shows how to remove the air vents on an Alfa Romeo 159. Start by using a plastic trim tool to detach the air vents located in the central dashboard; if you have difficulty, obtain metal hooks (as shown in the video) and insert them into the air vent. Once the two hooks are secured to the edges of the air vent, pull them out with your hands until the vent is removed from its housing. Repeat this procedure for the other air vents present on the car's dashboard. Finally, install the new vents.
