Gearstick knob / gaitor removal, that nasty clip.
« on: May 09, 2012, 07:25:04 pm »
Anyone got any tips on how to remove that horrible little clip that goes round the plastic collar of the gear knob? Sure I've seen a good pictorial thread on here but struggling to find it.

Not sure if it's the same but I'm sure when Darren changed the one in my GT TDI to a GTI one, he just unclipped the surround and pulled the gearstick up without actually removing the clip
