Do you want to replace the gear knob on your Volkswagen Golf Mk4? Let's see how to proceed in this video. Use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather gaiter frame; take the gear knob in your hands and rotate it left and right until you remove it from the gear stick (remove the metal clip as shown in the video).

To install the new knob: take the new knob and slide it onto the stick in the centre console until fully secured; install the new leather gaiter with the clip. Finally, test the movement of the stick in the centre console to ensure the knob is correctly fitted.
