hi,

I just fitted a skunk2 knob to my S and have a question:

The gator sits low exposing the trunk of the gear lever, I think it looks ok, but have noted from pics other people have the gaiter close up to the gear knob (which I prefer), is there a retaining ring of some sort I am missing

 

Sounds like it - should just be a zip-tie around the neck inside. Simple diy fix!

 

The console will lift off working from the back forwards and then you can get a tie around the gaitor. the shift lever has a taper about 1cm below the start of the thread so you should be able to use that to make sure your cable tie and gaitor don't slip down.

 

Don't tell me we're back to the sock and a set of pliers???
