I haven't changed mine, but I know a few people on here have and they say that it is really straightforwards to do. You can get a replacement leather one, and also change the gearknob if you like, from here:

It is the easiest thing to change, just pull up (just clipped in) the bezel around the bottom of the gaitor. I got my gaitor from Ford, exactly the same as the one on the TeamTorquesteer site but cost about £9.

Agree with Gareth..

1/ Before you start though you will need 1 zip strap/tie strap of about 2mm wide,and a pair of snips to cut them.

2/ Get a spoon and simply pry the bottom of the original gaitor away from the consol. 'The round plastic bit at the bottom of the rubber gaitor'.

3/ Then, unscrew the gearknob, (put your hand under the whole thing when unscrewing so that you dont scratch the consul). After a while it will all come off. Remove the silver ring from the bottom of the gaitor.

4/ Now turn it inside out and you will see a zip tie around the neck of the gearknob. Snip this off. (And throw the original gaitor as far as possible).

5/ Slip the new gaitor in place, inside out, and with your new zip tie, strap it around the neck of your gearknob, (there is a recess for it). Then just reverse the process.

I know it sounds a lot, but as Gareth said, it is so easy. All that's needed is a bit of comon sence.

It seems they sell it as a complete unit. Remember its a Fiesta part not an ST one so its under Fiesta Mk6 Accessories.

Gearknob & gaitor

I've rung them before and always got through to someone. Try the number on the "Contact Us" page.

How come they are quoting the mats cheaper than the website price?

I have no idea, as the gaiter was not listed on the site I filled in the request form and they came back with that quote, paid £57 inc p&p. Suppose the web price would have been charged if I had ordered direct online!!!. I was well chuffed and it makes a massive difference not looking at the CV boot round your gear stick LOL

Yes get it from Ford, it's the same but cheaper.
It's not leather BTW

The other gaitor is much better. Maybe i'll have to fill that form in. Do you have to pay over the phone? The website quotes 49.99 for fronts and rears but i've never seen ST mats with rear mats. Anyone know if Ford have changed them to a full set?

The official Ford ST mats always come with rear mats, all mat sets do. The rear mats have the same coloured piping round the edge.
