All you have to do is pull the handbrake cover forward (towards the dash). Very easy. Then the new gaitor slips straight over the existing plastic cover. 2 minute job guys.

I fitted mine over top of the original plastic one without removing the whole trim, undo the screws under the ash tray and lift it up.....gives you enough room to pull the gaiter down.

Fair enough. All i did was pull the black plastic cover of the handbrake towards the dash, put the gaitor over it then put the whole thing back on. Both ways work, and have the same result.
