Hello

I have just bought a Chrome and Leather handbrake grip for my Cooper, very nice indeed, but I am having real trouble removing the gaitor from the original grip. I have followed instructions from previous threads but I am having real trouble in removing the gaitor. Does anybody have any tips or tricks?

Thanks

Hello CurtP

The problem I am having is removing the original handbrake grip from out of the leather gaitor. Apparently you should be able to just lift it over the rear plastic section, but no joy for me.

The handbrake grip is from minimania.

Thanks

Hello Mate

The problem is I cannot locate the ziptie that holds the gaitor to unclip it. I can feel it but it seems to be inside the leathor gaitor itself. How did you pull everything off?

Thanks

Darren

Cheers CurtP

Thanks to your advice, I successfully managed to install the new handbrake grip.

Thanks very much

Darren

How did you replace the Gaitor that surrounds the Lever itself?

No Problem! Glad we were all able to help contribute to that!

Just a guess, and I could certainly be wrong!

Yeah, I get it.
I was trying to be funny. I thought it was funny, seeing the whole process played out without any apparent intervention.
