I'm wanting to change the gear knob on my mk2 and all the videos I've seen of people taking the old knob off have had the same clip on the underside of the knob that attaches it to the stick. On my fabia however, when I took the plastic ring off and pulled the gaiter up over the knob it did not show this clip and instead just a bit of plastic where the clip should be. I've attached a couple of pictures and if anybody could tell me what I need to do to get the knob off or point me the way of a guide that would be appreciated. Thanks.

don't think you can change it on the Fabia, you have to buy the whole stick and gaiter....

 

EDIT...........my assumptions were correct.

 

 

Seems a lot of aggro for a new dildo that fits your hand better...

Thanks for your help

It should be the upper, black bit seen in the pictures. Where the edges are flat, hold the bit under the gaiter (You can see a kind of join) and twist either clock or counter clockwise and it should sort of "click" like a bayonet fitting lightbulb. Then it should just slide off. If someone has fitted a cheap copy, the black twisty bit might just be one solid lump, copied from genuine bits. The gaiter and knob are classed as one unit and sold by Skoda, as such.

After doing slightly more research I found a video of a bloke taking the knob off and it was just like you described.
