In a 900NG you have to cut it in half (no joke), I would not be surprisedif
it's the same in a 9-3.
The rubber knob of our '95 900SE (conv) came off and I've been looking to
replace it with a leather one (+leather boot). The instructions that comewith
the leather one tell me to cut the old one off.

I found out the answer using my web cam with a bluetooth
unit......there are 3 lock lugs that need to be pushed in and that
releases the lift up reverse clips. The plastic housing of the knob is
on a spline and just pulls(with some force) off.

Thanks for the help anyway.
