Gearstick Gaiter

[tomo_658]

At the bottom of my gearstick, the frame around the bottom of the gaiter, one of the clips has snapped off and attempts to stick it to the frame have proven unsuccessful. Does anyone know where i can buy one?

Renault. They're about a tenner or so.

Renault. They're about a tenner or so.

Not much over a fiver, unless they've gone up.

 

[Renault_Boy01]

i think they are around a fiver

New gaitor;
Part number 8200071449 price £5.02 inc VAT as of October 2007

 

[Mike@Rentech]

pm me with reg number I will get back to u with price pay money wait 3 days will be at your door ready for u to fit

 

[Day]

See you're not the only one who spells it wrong Mike

I bought and fitted one today (well Dave and Mike did), just over a fiver like everyone else has stated.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

hey dave spells it wrong not me LOL

 

[Tigger]

Yeah, you get the whole replacement gaiter for anything between £5-7 from Renault

 

[aborson]

All the clips have snapped off on mine. If i purchase a new gaiter from renault ok ill just rip it off the old one. How do you fit the new onto the gear stick is it easy?

Thanks

 

[Da]

Yeah it's easy. Turn it inside out and with the new supplied ty-wrap secure it round the collar of the gear lever (in the correct position obviously). Then fold the gaitor down so it's turned back the right way, position and clip into place carefully.
Job done, 10 mins max if you struggle!

Does any one know the part number for a ph1 172 gaitor?

 

[bmh.01]

Would need an oval plate to be 100% sure but i've got 7700424034 and wait for it £48.36!

 

[Nick_P]

Oh my days, from the post higher up i thought it would have been a bargain price

 

[bmh.01]

Your not the only one! Was shocked at the price big time!

 

[Nick_P]

Do you know if the ph2 gaitor will fit? i just hate the nasty colour grey gaitor on mine atm

 

[Marky_]

I'm pretty sure a ph2 gaitor won't fit a ph1. They're different shapes and sizes at the base.

The £48 sounds about the same as the stealer quoted me a while ago. That's the blue 172 leather jobbie. The standard gray one is like £20ish

 

[mart182]

I got a price at my local Renault dealer today £36!!!! Wot a rip off. I'm definatley gonna try and bodge/fix mine.

 

[Day]

That can't be right.

Mind you Mike was telling me that Renault have ramped up their prices on certain items recently

 

[H182]

Just put a couple of blobs of super glue on mine round the base and stuck it down.

This happened to mine, I caked the circumfernce of the plastic in this Bostik All Purpose extra strong adhesive, haven't had any problems with it since.

This happened to me a couple of months back and then, a few days ago, I had an idea...

I have a MK2 PH2 56 plate clio. The two bottom clips of my gaitor had broken. So what i did was...

I DRILLED 2 SCREWS IN TO THE PLASTIC EDGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LEATHER AND USED THE SCREWS AS CLIPS!

Pushed it all down and it fits perfectly and will not come off, even when I pull it!!

THERE YA GO!

 

[Dr_agon]

nice one. anyhow the frame on mine (182) has detached itself from the centre console during some fiddling and the plastic parts on the frame to hold it down have snapped off and lost. the gaiter and clips are fine. how much is it for that frame with/without gaiter and what's the part numbers anyone? help is much appreciated as i have a feeling the local renny will rip me off

If I'm reading this correctly, I drilled in to that frame!

The frame is on the bottom of the gaitor, its the plastic 'ring' with the plastic parts that hold it down.

My bottom two plastic parts had broken off the frame, so I drilled in to the frame and put in 2 screws, which in effect 'replaced' the missing plastic parts.

pushed it all down and the screws acted as the missing clips and held it down. Perfect.

 

[Dr_agon]

ahh i see many a thanks. may well do that and save a few squids

 

[Fred@BTM]

just buy a new one! they're £5!

 

[DeeKay86]

just buy a new one! they're £5!

I didnt know they were £5 when I was fixing mine!! LOL

edit: I guess its still useful for those paying over £40!!
