Gear gaiter come loose

[jesus]

On my Trophy, every time I change gear it comes out of place. Tried slotting it in 'back to normal' but keeps doing the same thing. Any ideas?

 

[JackJack]

Buy a new one only about a 10£ from the dealers.

 

[jesus]

Wouldn't the new one be the same? How do they clip in?

 

[StevenMc29]

Check the clips are intact. If they are then may have to try some sort of adhesive but if they aren't I would just replace it.

 

[jesus]

Do you know which clips it should have? I think there's only one at the front of the gaiter (nearest 3rd gear) and there are none around the rest of it. Could one have fallen off?

 

[JackJack]

One big one at the front and two really small weak tabs at the back that have probably snapped off.

 

[Expired]

The whole plastic ring snapped on mine. If I remember rightly there are two clips near 2nd and 4th that slot in first then there is clip near where 3rd is that pushes in.

Pull the gaiter up so its inside out and cut the cable tie near the lift reverse, a new or second hand gaiter should come with a new cable tie, again make sure its inside out and cable tie it where the old one was and pull it back down and clip into place.

Hope that made sense.

My guide should fix it Jeebus, sounds like you've lost the two small clips.

Done that, stronger than buying a new gaitor surround.

Pay up it's cheap.

 

[Jimbo_M]

This happened to me, i just bought a new one for around £8 from my local renault dealership, looks fresh and new too

 

[daveski]

^ till that one breaks in the same place!

lolz probably!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Does that guide work if the big one at the bottom has snapped?

I've had 3 new gaiters and they keep snapping LOL

 

[S Garbett]

all sorted now, bottom clips had snapped

This happened to my Clio along with a friends, i glued around the lip of the gaiter which has held it in place and doesnt seem that its coming loose anytime soon

 

[jesus]

What happens when you need to get it off though?

Did the screw trick today with some self tappers, worked a treat.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

The clips on mine snapped, a new one from Renault was about £7 and took about 5 minutes to fit.

 

[glynedwards]

Can't seem to open the links that have been posted in order to correct this fault. Is the link broken? Both the tabs have snapped on my gaiter.

Cheers for replying Rob. I see the following issue when trying to view your post.

glynedwards, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation

I don't know what level of detail you have put into your post but is there any chance you could copy and paste it below? I would be really helpful.

 

[Rob]

Oh, it's because you're not a full member.

Cliosport guides are for paid members only. Sorry about that.

The solution is just a couple of tiny self tapping screws fixed in the right place and it works just fine.

 

[glynedwards]

Ah, I see. Poundland superglue it is. Cheers anyhoo!

 

[Joe#]

This is great timing as mine has just gone. I'll be using your little trick Rob
