I got this off without any problems and read on another post that it can be taken apart. I don't want to just start tearing it apart so I was hoping someone could help?? Please??
+1. i'd also like to know.
I figured it out myself, so I'll do a quick DIY for this in this thread, if someone knows how to put this in the DIY's, that would be great: Here goes...
First remove the shifter by pulling the button and pulling up, HARD!!...
Once removed, you have this:
Then use a wide blade screwdriver and pry up on the bottom of the button. You may want to put a credit card or something under your screwdriver blade to protect the leather.
Pull it out just enough to get a finger under it. Then pull it all of the way up.Then just pop it out..
Then pry the small metal clip out. I think it just holds the edges of the leather down so you don't even need to take it out, but I did.
Then pry up on the wood trim piece just above where you removed the button from, it should pop up and the lift it off!!
Then it is all apart!!
the same clear i used on my interior trim. I'll have to look at the can and tell you tomorrow.
Sorry i like the WOOD
Does the manual knob wood trim pop off the same way? Just pry it up?
i just bought an E36 automatic shift now. but it was just the handle not the stick that comes out of it. how do i take the stick off the stock shift knob and move it to the new one?
Hurt my hand anyway
Great write up, need to disassemble to see why the button sticks.
