Knob Head

[tracey]

Hi Fabiafreaks

I havent posted in a while only when I need good advice on my precious Fabia.Hopefully youll remember me! yes, its another gearknob question, I have a thing about them....

Ok Ive only got a boring Classic 1.4 Fabia (I know this is a predominately Vrs site! one day I will own one!) but you see Ive seen a gorgeous knob for sale on Ebay hopefully to replace the boring plastic black one. It is a chrome mesh sporty logo one and the seller says it should fit all Skodas if my shaft is no longer than 14 mm it will fit BUT I cant get the thing off to measure!!.

Firstly, how do I get it off? (cough) does it screw off ?

Has anyone already replaced their knob and know what I am talking about - will it fit? I want to bid on it soon! Your earliest reponse will be grateful! I know I have set myself for a backlash of rude comments so dont worry about offending me....again....... cheers guys! :airjock: AND DONT ANYONE BID ON IT CAUSE ILL KNOW ITS ONE OF YOU!

ps I have had 3 sensors on my dashboard pack up in the 6 months of owning the car but I still love it to bits!!

It should fit as long as your new knob's meant to screw it

Seriously speaking...

Yeah dude, I'm sure it will fit. If it can fit on all other cars it will definitely fit in the fabia. Change your shaft if you must........the thicker the better
