Changing gear knob trim

Featured Replies

Only had my octy vrs a few weeks and im looking to replace the worn gear knob trim, as it bugs me! lol

Is it easy to do, as it looks like it just clips/wedges it to leather piece?

I got bored one day and decided to clean under the leather on the gear stick, just it pulls off with a series of plastic clips and the gear stick itself has a snap clip on by the looks of it

Just levers off from the bottom , As em says the knobs on a clip , just open it and replace with a jubilee clip .

Can i not just replace selector pattern piece, rather than the whole knob??

Yep ,the selector pattern piece can be removed by gently liting from the bottom.

Why not check out a new one from from Superskoda, they have them with the V logo and are availalable in matt or shiney chrome.

Ummm interesting.... OEM silver or matt chrome. Not sure if the chrome one would look odd with the silver dash trims??

GUTTED Dont think it fit my VRS :hi:

Interesting. Despite our best efforts our's is starting to wear and get scratched.

Not sure I've fully understood how to remove the old and fit the new though?

If you have the same gearstick then it is just a push fit.

Carefully put something thin like a trim tool or edge of old credit card between the the bottom of the badge and the leather and gently lever the badge up and out.

Another photo of part to help see how it is just push fit.
