gear leather change???
« on: 18 March 2009, 14:19:15 »
Anyone done this before?
If did is it complicated to do, and what has to be done?
Also does anyone have the front grill and glovebox cover BUT for the opel omega not vauxhall (different drivers side)?

It's relatively straightforward to change the leather gaitor.  Mine was a manual, so I can't say if the auto's are the same.  

The complete gaitor just unclips from around the gear stick and pulls over the gear knob. Remove the plastic trim and you will see that the leather is stapled all the way around.  You will need to remove the staples, change the leather over and re-insert the staples again.  This can be a bit fiddly as the replacement gaitor that I bought on Ebay did not have any holes in it do I had to manually poke hole through for the staples to go back in.

Other than that it was very straightforward.
