Just got a new gaiter of fleebay , and reading all the treads, looks like most people brake the nob off , or its broken and no reavers selection ,
i don't what to force it off and end up with more problems
It doesn't look big enough to go over the top off the nob :D

on mk2 ulysse apparently the gaiter is big enough to slide over knob :eek:
it is elasticated or should be !!
 
:) Flea bay item prob wont go over the knob. Fiat have a special tool to remove (basically a vice in reverse) to pull it off. Gearknob pulls off a mk2 dont turn it it will break and the white part controls the lock lift control for reverse ( this can be glued back(. Gently now good luck

Hi, i just did mine on 2000 Model. Also got it off ebay. To remove you just pull up on the surround and then just pull up and slightly turn the gear knob as its just a tight fit onto a plastic bush on gear lever.
You have to cut of the old gaiter from plastic surround,remove all the fluff (i just burnt it off with a lighter) scrape off burnt fluff and super glue new gaiter in place. When units off you just pull out the knob from gaiter,its quite a tight fit tho.
A word of warning tho, i managed to glue the gaiter on to the surround the wrong way :-( didnt realise untili left glue to dry and refitted it. it was tight at top and loose at bottom and everytime i changed into 2nd gear the surround popped off !!! D'OH
