changed mine from black to silver from an aero :) did get a flathead screwdriver in the back off the boot. and gently pried on the small White "hooks" and it Went great :) sorry for my bad English, only a Swedish dude :) haha
An easier way of removing the trim panel is removing the rubber tray and from that oval circle thing push back and up rather than pulling from the key location ... I also got carbon fiber wrap and when I did that I made sure to clear coat it a couple layers so it’s like a glossy carbon wrapped trim piece it’s pretty sweet not real I wish it was XD
You have any tips for removing the shift knob? They are locktited on to the shaft... Saab has you break the plastic cap and drill out the metal insert, meaning you have to buy another shift knob and cover.
Yes, here is a link for a manual transmission carbon bezel: www.esaabparts.com/saab/parts/12779657 You may be able to search that 12779657 part number and find cheaper elsewhere.

Unfortunately I don't have any tips for removal. The one I tried to remove was practically destroyed!
I get the knob of the lever loose while driving. it is a problem for me.
gently tap the knob upward repeatedly; mine came off in perfect condition spontaneously from use--so it will come off. Pad to avoid cosmetic damage.

These one handed videos are terrible, not giving me any confidence in doing this job myself. 😢

I found mine used in Ebay.
