I'd say you need to remove trim round handbrake to fit the other?

ok just went out to the car( in the middle of a blizzard had 3 inches of snow in about an hour) and had a look at the handbrake...it seems the gap between the console and gaitor is too small to slip the new one over so im going to have to lift up the centre console at the back...which im dreading lol

I'm sure I said that earlier

yeh ino mate but i was hoping the tdi se would be different how wrong i was!lol

 

[cupradan]

i bought a handbreak cover off ebay like that, was supposed to slip over the existing plastic one but was so tight there was no chance of it going on. the seller told me theyre not meant to be used without the plastic either so i ended up binning it.

 

[hoggy90]

yeh dan thats what im doing, putting it over the existing one as it does fit over it,but doesnt fit down the sides so im lifting up the console to get it in nice and snug

 

[SalterTDI]

Oh snap, I bought the hand brake gaitor yesterday... so it'll be interesting to how many headache's it comes free with.

 

[hoggy90]

lol +1

im gonna phone the stealers 2moro to see how i go about taking off the console or even just lifting it up....maybe even get a price to get them to put the gear and handbrake gaiter on since its soo cold lol

 

[Giant AC1]

You dont have to lift the console to fit the gaiter,The handbrake cover will come off,just grip the handle firmly(oo-er)and pull fowards,just try not to punch the radio/heater as you go.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I thought the handbrake gaiter fitted over the plastic cover?

 

[hoggy90]

yeah i think the handbrake gaitor i got is meant to go over the plastic cover already on it because the gaiter i got i rather flimsy....in saying this...its made from 100% real italian leather mwahaha lol

 

[AviTurbo]

any success with the handbrake?
i also got this kit from ebay long time ago and still have no clue how to remove the handbrake cover.
