Correct me if im wrong...

pull up the gaitor (elasticated at the base) there will be a silver/gold ring round the gearknob unit at the top, take this off and should pull off.

i had trouble with the gear knob on my mk4. the rubber gear knob broke off. so i would suggest cutting the top off. this allows u to prise the clips and jiggle it off. any help???

yea thats why i got the new knob because the plastic bit keeps falling off.

I found the gold ring but i can't see how you take it off.
