Gear Shifter Knob for Buick Verano 2012-2017 Gear Shift Knob Leather Car Stick Lever Handle Shifter Head Transmission Gear Shift Lever Knob

My shifter in my Buick Verano 2013. Broke so I had to screwdriver my way into the base to drive. I’m super glad that for $15 I could replace it and it’s as good as new. The leather part I fixed up with a zip tie and works good enough for me. Took like 15 minutes for my husband to install. Great purchase!

Arrived super quick, and well packed. Had the dreaded shift button tabs break. Had to use a pen to get the car in gear till this arrived. Do, not, believe the videos that tell you it just comes right off. Lies, all of them. To see why the old one refuses to simply pull up, and off. Look into the new one, notice the metal pin. That U shaped pin is pressing into a slot on the shifters shaft. You need to either break, or find a way to get that bottom plastic piece to drop down to get at that clip. Once pried free the old shift knob will finally lift off. Simply slide this new one on with the button depressed. You'll hear a click, done. Pull up the leather boot reapply a new zip tie, and carefully put the surround back in place. Looks good once installed with a touch of difference in the color, and is of good quality. Was a fair price compared to what the dealership quoted me. Was even worse when asked about installing it..

It fits good

Went on easy. Works perfectly.

Shifter knob works as expected. Feels like new. Had it installed by my normal auto repair shop. No issues or surprises

Worked fine

Turns out crumbling gearshift buttons are common on Verano/Cruze levers (and whatever other models use the same thing). But I was delighted to find this for only $15! If I had taken it to a shop, just imagine how much more it would have cost. It is a CINCH to install. As far as removing the old, broken one, don't be afraid: you'd think you will break something, but you won't. Just grab that thing and YANK it off the column while wriggling it back and forth. You won't break anything; trust me. Installation is as simple as it gets! Just slide the new one on until it stops, then give it a gentle "pop" with your fist (or less gentle, if it didn't work the first time), and on it goes. Pull up the "skirt" (the whole center console trim) and put a THIN zip-tie around the leather, but make sure it goes into that "groove" that the beautiful new knob you just bought has. (I say this because I missed it the first time, grrrr) It looks perfect, and works perfectly. $15 vs. $150 (or more) to have a shop do it? That's a no-brainer for me!

Product,very good quality for the price
