The American version is not like this. The zip tie only holds the leather shift cover and not the handle. In order to remove the handle, after removing the zip tie, you need to remove the bottom chrome piece that's separated from the other chrome on the handle. Under that bottom small chrome piece is a metal bar/clip that holds the handle on the shift rod. This metal bar/clip should be removed and the handle can be removed easily. You may destroy the bottom small chrome piece trying to slide it down to remove but since you're replacing the entire handle that's OK. To reinstall, the bar/clip under the bottom chrome piece of the new handle has to be removed and put back in place to hold the handle down.

Rod Cleveland do you know if this would work for a Buick Verano? Or is it different? Trying to do the replacement myself and having no luck online

@@HunnerCoz Yes, I changed the gear handle on a Buick Verano. The old handle is not usable after removing. If I remember correctly I think I used a small metal pick and maybe a knife or something sharp to get the metal clip out. It was frustrating to say the least. After installing the new handle, it was worth the effort. Good luck!

Meriva owners: to remove the plate push a thin screwdriver into the gap at the front, lever a bit and push down on that front end. This will push the front of the plate down into the cavity and release the rear end of the plate. You can then wriggle it around to pull the whole thing out of the cavity to get at the cable tie. When the cable tie is cut and the cowl pushed down away from the knob, grab the knob (stop getting distracted!😉) and depress the button and waggle the knob and pull until it comes off. Attach new knob. Add cable tie. Push front end of plate back into the cavity and get the rear of the plate into position. Put the key in the ignition and pull the gear lever back to the D position. Grab the cowl near the front and pull the front of the plate into position then push the thin screwdriver into the gap and lever the plate up until it clicks fully into position.

Hi Mick, at the begining of video I've mentioned there used to be a zip tie which I have cut prior to making a video.. have you got a zip tie still intact ? That's the only reason I can think of.
