    I had a proper giggle when you realised you got it wrong. Love the fact you kept it in the video.

  • @user-dl9qw9ds4d

    Found your help and learning moments really helpful. On the ring you staple to has a couple of recesses where they line up to the top and bottom also found putting the ring that holds the gaiter top on easily pushed on with the tip of long nose pliers. Thanks for the help

  • @stevenwoodfield4646

    Thanks for making this video! I would 100% make the same mistake!

  • @markjones9959

    Did mine in full leather, couldn’t even get the ring on over the plastic wedge bit so glued instead, total ball ache getting the bottom ring in the hole as leather so thick .

    Thanks for documenting. Made it a lot simpler to fit my gaiter this evening. That last clip sliding over the collar was a proper pain in the ar$e!

    I have a full Tartan ready to go but now I've seen this... Today I did the seat covers in GTD Tartan and the gear gaiter is matching. All from HQ. They make it look like a walk in the park which it wasn't. My face got this sweaty from jerking the covers that my glasses just slided from my face. Keep you informed how it goes. Probably ten times better than without your helpful video.

    You have around the same skill set as me, thanks for doing the groundwork. 🤙🏼

    Moral of the story; always be careful with your ring piece 😂

    Hi mate. I did my gater yesterday and it was super easy and just took only 5 minutes.........hang on. That's not true. It was a total nightmare. I even ended up snapping the plastic ring that secures it to the dash. At that point I broke down and sobbed.

    UPDATE; disassembly and assembly went very easy after your video. Only downside is that it got very squeaky after mounting in the car and this wasn't before. Guess I have to use the silicone spray to.

    Good and honest review picking up on all the factors that have put me off doing it for the last few months lolol. Great video as always.

    Exactly why I just bought a black leatherette one, already attached to the ring 🤣 yours looks good though 👍🏻

    Great honest and detailed video. Thinking of doing this to my gear stick, have already got the leather gator with red stitching to match steering wheel cover, but have been put off by the struggle you went through, may just have a spare already fitted one on standby.
