Product reviewsFITS VW POLO MK3 6N 1994-1999 GEAR GAITER REAL LEAHER BLACK STITCHING

Great value real leather gaiter

The real leather gaiter looks much better than the original vinyl which had split. While the leather gaiter fits well, it lacks the attachment lugs to keep it secure to the gear stick aperture. Nevertheless the elastic keeps it in place without slipping.Read full review...

Elasticated Gaiter which is described as 'fits all'

It appears to be a well made gearstick gaiter designed as a 'universal fit'. The gaiter for a SEAT Ibiza 2002-2008 requires cut-outs around the base and needs to be stapled or glued on. This particular eBay gaiter has a round elasticated base which cannot easily be fitted and doesn't stay in place. The only option is to cut away the elasticated band and then cut away the leather to enable stapling. However this would then compromise the whole gaiter and might not be quite large enough anymore. I's a choice of this method where you pay £6.98 or spend another £4 or so and get the genuine article.Read full review...

Thick leather

If you are looking to replace the standard leather gaiter, please be aware that this leather is a lot thicker than the original. To secure the leather it needs to be sandwiched between the gearstick handle and the black retainer which has teeth on and you have to tuck the leather in between. However as it is a lot thicker, it not possible to completely tuck under. I spent two hours trying to feed it under the gearstick handle and failed as it was too thick to stay in place so I have had to nip and tuck it and then cable tie on the outside of it at the top. Awkward job to do and not worth it as the leather looks nice but doesn’t look good cable tied. Read full review...

Cheap but looks OK.

Looks quite good when fitted, but on my car which it is supposed to fit, there is a ridge at the underside of the gear knob (after removing it), which the small end is supposed to pull over to hold it in place at the top, but the hole is far too small.
Had to cut the top bit off the gaiter to make the hole bigger, so the stitching started to fray and had to use a small electrical tie after folding it in on itself, to secure it on the inside and stop it from fraying further.
The bottom is only held in place by the elasticated bottom. I wonder how long that will last?
Was cheap and looks quite good at the moment though.

Worth it

Bit tricky getting the top to fit nicely, solved with a small cable tie. Maybe make it £1 more and put some elastic round the top?
Worth the money in any case, tidied my console up a treat

Excellent quality item, fitted perfectly, great value!

Fitted perfectly (helps if you warm it up on a radiator and do it indoors rather than outside in freezing conditions as it's much easier to work). Looks excellent when fitted and doubled the value of my son's car based on appearance alone! :)
Exactly as per photograph, very good stitching.Read full review...

Very nice quality and a DIY

Everybody knows how those opel gaiters gets chips falling off often, in Corsa C. It took literally 5 mins to change it, you can find a nice YouTube video also of how to remove the old one and fit the new one. The knob doesn't need to be removed too, it barely fits through. Quality seems nice too, time will tell but you can refresh that look on your old faithful car.Read full review...

real leather gaiter.

very nice looking, being real leather also has a quality feel. blue stitching makes it a little bit personal to the car.
