    Okay, I give up. How the hell does one remove the shift knob in this car?!? I figured a quick search would yield the answer, but nope.

    Shift knob

    It is very easy. Start by grabbing the frame of the boot and pulling up. Should not need a lot of force to unclip from the center console. Pull the boot up over the knob and there should be a crimp clamp there. You will need to take that off. Then fold the boot back down. Next, this takes both hands, grab the gear select button and pull outward to disengage it from the button mechanism.. At the same time, pull up on the shift knob. It should slide up and off.

    be careful no to let go of the knob after you pull it off it might slip in and is a pain to get out, i used a clip after pulling the knob out to keep it out when i pulled it off
