If the gearshift gaiter (the leather / plastic bag around the gear lever) is letting the interior of your car down, here's how to replace it. This takes about 45 minutes.

Parts required

  • New gearshift gaiter. I got mine from GaitersBOOTS on eBay (username foudabuzaid). Get one specifically for the Mk3.

Tools required

  • Small flat-blade screwdriver for bending staples.
  • Long-shafted large flat-blade screwdriver or similar metal instrument with plastic handle for melting tabs.
  • Pliers.
  • Side cutters.
