    mine was spring loaded stuck in...i took an old wiper blade and used the strong metal part of the inserts (there are 2 metal strips on each side of the wiper blade insert on most cars) i made a hook tool out of it to reach in and hook and grab the inside part of the button to pull it out...worked great. thx for video !!!

    My gaiter looked like it was chewed by the dog after 10 years in the California sun. I bought one like yours from a wrecker and could not figure out how to get the button out. I even ran a borescope inside to see what's doin, and there were more bits than a Swiss watch. So I used compressed air to blow it out and put a ty-wrap on it. I like your Mylar tape method better. You video was full and complete. Good show.

    • @TheParrottBros
      @TheParrottBros  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Ric appreciate the comment, I tried a number of ways before deciding the brown tape option was the best, borescope I love that idea 🤙🏻

    Hi there!
    I've seen your video a while ago, liked it and you made me want having that shift knob, I loved it right away. I agree with you, it looks soooo much more stylish than the old one.
    I couldn't take that knob out of my mind and recently I've ordered the new type, I can't wait to be delivered to change the (ugly 🤭) old one.
    Anyway, I had a look again to your tutorial to be ready for the knob exchange.
    Thank you for the clear explanations and tips; thanks to you this job looks like an easy peasy one 😉
    Great training!

    I wish I day this video when you released it. I've never liked the shift knob on my 06 A6 Avant. I even bought a 2013 Q5 instead of a 2012 because of that dang shift knob. Live and learn. My A6 has 207k miles, but I just bought a replacement so that I don't have to look at that blob anymore between now and it's ultimate demise. Thanks for the info.

    This video is how I figured out my current shift knob was an aftermarket. I only changed the sleeve out and I still don't know how I got it back together correctly. I had to use a couple of tiny screwdrivers to pry the button out but that part wasn't bad. It was figuring out how to put it back together with the leather clamped the right way that was a pain.

    Thanks man! This video was verry useful, because I don't like that old shifter knob, it was verry ugly, this "facelifted" shifter knob looks 10 times better! I want to change my seats, to some S Line seats with Alcantara leather and a new S Line steering wheel, again, because the 2011-2012 steering wheel looks ugly (this is only my personal opinion)

    • @TheParrottBros

The white pointy stick that its meant to catch into seems not be be all the way up, well thats why i am assuming its not catchibg on. Any advice please 🙏

      I’m pretty certain the fitment will be the same, if the console area looks the same it should fit the same. Audi use same parts on multiple models
