uve got to get a knob that has screw-ins which will tighten up to the stick and then u just spin the knob down over the screws
are you sure your ones dont have this, ive got 3 different aftermarket knobs and they all have em, what knobs are they?

i haven bought any yet. I jus took them out from the shop just to try it out if they could fit. Apparantly they are all screw in. But they were only meant for other car models n not specifically for the FTO and asked me to try it on. U got any brands to recommend?

uhh chances are that you will almost never find one which says they are meant for FTO's. hmm pretty much most aftermarket knobs do come with the tiny screws plus the allen key, plus a few fitment cylinders thingis.
