Gear stick gaiter

Gear stick gaiters protect the moving parts from dirt and moisture, preventing premature wear and corrosion. They help ensure smooth movement of the lever and add a finishing touch to the vehicle interior.

Types of gear lever gaiters

By material:

• Leather – These are strong, soft, durable, and moisture-resistant. However, they require delicate care to maintain their appearance, and can be pricey.
• Artificial leather – These are inexpensive, but not as durable as those made of genuine leather. Their service life depends on the quality of the material. At low temperatures, they lose their elasticity and crack.
• Alcantara – These are characterised by high durability. They do not tend to crack when exposed to low temperatures, and are pleasant to the touch.
• Rubber – These are cheap and robust. They are often used in commercial vehicles.

By shape:

• Shapeless – These covers are soft and look like a sack. They have to be cleaned thoroughly as they tend to accumulate dust.
• Shaped – These boots have a pleated style and are easy to maintain.

Operating instructions for gear shift gaiters

• If you’re going to change the component yourself, you should mark the position of the clamp on the old one and then secure it in the same position on the new one. This will help prevent twisting and kinking.
• Replace it in a warm area. At temperatures below zero, plastic interior components become brittle and can crack.
• To avoid damaging the fasteners, remove them with a special plastic blade.
• After mounting, make sure that the gear lever boot does not twist, move, or pull too tight during operation.
• Use only specialised products to remove dirt from leather components.
• Do not use abrasive pastes and bleaching agents for cleaning. Stubborn stains can be eliminated with a soapy or water-alcohol solution with an alcohol content of less than 40%. After cleaning, wipe the component dry.
