Audi A3 A3 air shifter front door trim mod

Well, the door trim is cake; but the shifter was a bit more challenging than I thought it would be. Just take it slow. youll see, I only did the knob, but the boot/knob will be no more difficult. youll need a pair of needle nose pliers, a zip tie, or, whatever.
Heres the before trim....6 scratches :-)




just get your fingers under there, and pull towards you evenly from L to R, then theres a clip that slides from R to left.



Off



Oh what a difference



You likey?






Ok, are you ready?



Pull that button out, very easy.



then, slide a zip tie up and under the button, theres a notch, get it in there and pull it secure. this is important.



OK, then open the ashtray, and from the rear of the shifter trim plate, slip your fingers under there and pull up...up it comes, now pull that sucka up over the knob...twist and turn a little to get it past.



OK, now get a flathead in that devil clamp and twist like Chubby Checker.



Hey!



Can you pull up?



No, you cant; and heres why.....



the end of the shifter knob, has 4 little notches that hold it onto the ring that the boot is attached to....



Youll need to push the end together so the shaft of the knob can pass thru that ring ....then pull up as you do that....take it easy.....



then I used a super duper zip tie to secure, the width was identical to the width of the channel where the clamp was...I trimmed it down a little more, it was biting into the boot



And now, ladies and pic whores........
