Re: leather shift knob
My question exactly... how to take the shifter out so I can clean the console. The officer who was issued this car seems to love peanuts and Dates! The floor and under the console center plate is covered in them. It seems I have to remove the shifter just to get the emergency brake bracket out.Navy Lifer wrote:you are trying to remove the knob/shifter for the 9C1, correct?

So frustrating and I just want it CLEAN! I will remove to mod it later.

carmodder is a wonderful site, and was pointed out to me by CP for my wheel update. There's a lot of other cool how-to's there.

Re: leather shift knob
And I can verify today that you put a small flat-blade screw driver in between the top of the shifter button and the shifter body itself and pry it toward the front of the car. It has two plastic tabs on either side of the top of the button holding it in place.
I got the leather replacement piece for our shifter, as well as a new door seal (the one on the car was badly worn) and the two middle b-pillar panels (the ones on the car had 3 holes drilled in them for the cage).
NOW, it looks like I need to replace the driver's side threshold. The bright strip that's on it is peeling up.
Someday, I'll actually get to doing mods on this car, other than just replacing broken/missing bits. It's still fun, though.
