Removing Gear Knob from the New Beetle

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 2, 9C - Years 1999-2012
Part: Shift knob

Remove the gear knob from the New Beetle. Let's see how to detach the damaged part and fit the new one. Use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather gaiter frame, then unclip the metal clip. Grip the knob and rotate it left and right until it comes off the gear stick. Take the new knob and slide it onto the stick in the centre console, securing it in place: fasten the metal clip. Finally, test the movement of the stick in the centre console to ensure the knob is correctly fitted. Install a knob of the same type as the one removed.
