Bascially its all in the title idk exactly how the shifters work on the cobalts but the little cap that says the gears like fell off when I was driving and idk how to get it back on, not the knob but the little cap thing.....

does anyone know how to put them back on or i need something new...if you guys need pictures ill will get some...

thanks in advance

 

Mine broke off the first week i had the car. Dont even remember what the shifter was like with it on. Good luck on finding a replacement for warranty work. They say its been on backorder since day 1 (so they say).

Your best bet would be some superglue.

 

ok thanks ill go that route

 

mine came off last weekend. i just used some good super glue. no problems...

 

Mine fell off as well. My dealership ordered me one and installed if for me under warranty. I still have my old one just in case.

 

yea **** that knob. mine fell off back in june....went to the dealership to get it fixed, said it was backordered they'd "call me" yea they never called and i went off to college. I tried some super glue, but if you get a stretch of hot days, it may fall off again. some dealerships are just better then others.... good luck

 

Mine did the same thing, took it to the dealer and they first tried to get the knob piece itself but when it came in it did not come with the plastic piece that tells you what gear your in, so the dealer had to get the whole shift boot assembly under warranty too, that thing is like a hundred bucks if not more take it in for warranty and they should replace the whole thing

 

Instead of super glue, try rubber cement or an epoxy glue. Both are harder to work with, but they will resist heat better, hold stronger (specially the epoxy), and last longer.

 

mine came off 2 weeks ago. 5 minute epoxy FTMFW

 

mines in my glove box... pos... im going b&m

Happened to me a lil while back, took it to the dealer to replace it and all they ended up doing was buying a new faceplate and snapping it in with a little extra glue...if you look close at it, you'll see the little **** that held it in place broke off....I remember when it broke off, it was dark and it hit my foot and remember thinking to myself 'uhhh wtf was that?!' haha

 

had mine remplace under warranty like 3 weeks ago, they remover the 3 little broken plastic pin. and clipped the new one on the rubber piece.

ur dealer is full of ****.
BS.

 

lmao broken **** knob lol.

 

well it is a peice of ****,
do you think guerrila glue would be good?

 

Mine fell off, they had to order a new shift knob and cap it was like 3-4 months before my dealer got one for me

 

Mine was replaced under warrenty about 30,000 miles ago.

 

super glue ftw!

 

Mine popped of last year. They had to replace the entire shifter assembly. I watched Rob do it in the garage at the dealership.
