So I've bought some new gaiters for my car and I admit, I'm too scared to fit them LOL! I've tried to get my current ones off and had no luck so far so googled it and other forums have made comments about gaining black eyes and broken noses?! I know that apparently I need to "straddle" the centre console and pull but I'm not up for an injury.. Any ideas?

The gear knob is just a case of pull it up frikkin hard with a bit of a twist,the handbrake is also pull and twist....all should be well :)

p.s. just make sure your face is out the way ;)

Lol okay! :S Planning on doing it Monday so will post photos of car and bruises! If any..

I see a you tube moment coming

" need to straddle" :blink: sure you didnt get BM site mixed up with BDSM site ...... LOL

I've tried & failed. They won't budge :(

if similar to my old merc they may be glued at the bottom as well, so may need little screw driver to lift off gaiter..

On BMWs they are 100% pull an twist off,they just need a bit of welly ;)

green wellie or the ones with face's on lol ???

any kind of welly,JUST GIVE IT SOME WELLY !! lol

I haaaaaave!

So you should have it done now then ?? :)

Nope :( I think I'm gonna have to ask my dad to yank it. If he can't do it then god knows, he's not exactly small lol.

If he cant,If you go to the meet on 14th April I'll do it !! (or one of the other guys will)

Kent is so far away. Come to Oxford!

Agree,bring it to the meet and we can all have a go!

if we all keep yanking it, we could all go blind....lol
