on my post 97 (R reg) Corsa i removed the plastic top detailing where the gears are. then attack it with a sharp knife. the "leather" effect is just a hard foam....cut mine away til it was all gone..... strongly suggest newspaper to catch the swarf that falls, its a bastard to vacuum up! | |

if you dont want to bugger your gear knob the propper way of removing it is to take the gear leaver completely out and put the knob end in some bloody hot water so it heats itself up this will allow the knob to come off easely! | |
