Hi jim,
thanks for your answer, I was worried do damage something by pulling or pushing to hard,
the new one has a metal ring glued to it at the botom, the one in place seams to move out of his place if I push it down hard, is that what you mean and lift it out by squeezing and bending it, thanks

Yep, I had to remove the old metal ring from the existing gaiter and transfer it over but I broke the weld on it at the time but if you do not need to reuse then you don't need to be so careful. I can't remember exactly what holds the metal ring in place under the centre console but you should be able to prise it out without too much trouble.
