small problem

Post by Fulltiltorgasm »

Just noticed that the soft plastic cover around the base of the gearstick/knob (tip box) has broken leavin it open. Not talking about the outer harder plastic with the D,N R P on it. The soft plastic sheet that slides across with the gearstick, when puttin into tiptronic, im guessin its only there to stop dust dirt etc from gettin to the internal part. im wondering wether u can source this sheet and is it worth it ??

Mine's been like that as well for ages coz just cbf finding any time to actually do it. Is it hard to do the replacement Borep?

You won't have to rip the whole dash apart to do it do you?

I like your idea.

Mine was cracked beyond repair so I threw it out.

Is anyone willing to post up dimensions for a cut-out?
