I thought I'd got away with it......

It took a year but finally my gear knob has decided to join some of its pals in the parts bin and detach itself.

Well, here's to a carbon replacement. Every cloud and all that!

[cue2]

I found it a good excuse to go carbon!

[Munich_to_Turin]

Is there a carbon dash inlay to match? Have only seen red, white and silver.

No point doing things by halves.

Only Lhd unfortunately. Somebody should take commissions as they looked great at Geneva Show.How many miles did you get out of your knob, as it were?

16000. Not bad. Having inspected the broken clips it is unsurprising it came away.

[DANQV2]

then again im on my second, and mine didnt even fall off..

dealer chipped it replacing glove box, i demanded a replacement!!!

Knowing my luck... chipped knob would of stayed on!! Lol

My knob fell off. Super glued it back on. Good as gold.

[DANQV2]

paul you havent had yours long have you?

knob falling off a new build?!

[paulmacs]

Mine was a demonstrator Dan, (had no car after selling the Brera and didn't want to wait 4 months) so may have been built before the knobs were built better

[diamond72]

My knob broke after about 16000, tried gluing, no joy, popped into dealer and the nice girl gave me a new one, with some special white glue to keep it in place, it's now firmer than it ever was

So is mine. Do I have this to look forward too sometime next year? (Currently on 4850 miles) Perhaps it is only a minority it happens to. (says he hopefully)

[DANQV2]

its just that my dealer had said that the new build (tom tom ports etc) that they improved the structure of the clips...

but guys dont take my word......i think the techs just bung a load of adhesive down to now.

Super glue all the way.

In a few months Dodge Dart owners will complain about the same thing..

Look at the interior pics of the Dart's gearknob. Looks exactly like the Giulietta's...
