Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Shift knob

Below we will see the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the covers of the DSG automatic transmission knob of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we get into the car and start removing the central cover of the knob; then we lever on the other two side covers to detach and remove them, completely uncovering the automatic transmission lever, as shown in the video. At this point, we proceed to replace the knob covers with the new ones, as well as with the original ones; we first fix the side ones and finally the central one, applying the reverse procedure of disassembly!
