Unclipped it from the back, but mine was loose anyway as the previous owner had obviously had it on and off to hide things in the resulting compartment.

with fords you un swivel the gear knob then unclip the gaitor which just pulls upwards.

can you not do this with corsas but instead of unswiveling the knob off, you would need to pull it hard i think.

sounds good in practise, but im unsure how this helps with a handbrake gaitor.
