C5 Auto Gear Shift

Post by amjake »

Hi all,

Just become owner of C5 diesel auto but the gear shift has chrome trim peeling away and cuts heel of hand when using!

Either need to replace or buy a cover for it preferably leather.

If change, How? and is it a dealer purchase?

Cover - any suggestions (not gaffer tape, already using that! lol) or sites for a suitable purchase?

Thanks

Kevin

Dealer only I would have thought Jake but you may be able to use the gently curved one from a Xantia-type shifter if you want to try a scrappy and don't mind loosing the chrome.

Howe to get them off is not obvious. The trick is to grasp them very firmly and pull very sharply upwards....
