The gear knob has been delivered within two days, I've unpacked it, thinks for a moment and installed! It can be installed with up reverse without problems in a vehicle! I myself have a Volvo V40 Year 1998! The knob looks great and is great in the hand, I highly recommend him! PS: The old Knauf went only by brute force from ... small saw, utility knife, screwdriver and a lot of strength. Is hard plastic under the foam grip. Must everything down to the metal!
