Citroen XM Forum

An undamaged Brown interior locking knob please. Happy to pay for it and P&P.
One of mine is broken and is forever falling off - bound to get lost sooner or later.
I think they just pull off (upwards).

I suggest that if its V6 Exclusive badges are in good condition, they are worth saving - there was at least on V6 Exclusive that had been de-badged.

Undamaged original alloy wheels might also be worth saving.

They are often just forced upwards and off the rod, which is why they then fall off.
They are held on by a plastic dog that grips the rod.
To remove a button raise it and look for two small slots at the lower point, poke a small screwdriver into the upper exposed slot and press the detent inwards, then raise the knob and the dog should drop to the lower slot and release the rod.

To refit, set the detent so it is engaged in the lower slot, install the knob and press down, at which point the dog will grip the rod and self set until the detent is in the upper slot.

You can buy new lift buttons, either in the original clip dog style or a screw style.

If yours still has the dog and it locks into the button but doesn't grip the rod, apply a wrap of gaffa tape to the rod and refit the button as normal.

Thanks for that. It was loose when I bought the car, someone in the past has forced it off. It did prompt me to find out how to remove the knobs without brute force!
The dog has been well chewed by the rod serrations. I had thought about building up the dog with slow-set Araldite and waiting until it was gone off but still a bit soft before refitting; removing properly a day or so later to trim any excess. Might well be a waste of time and effort.
Don't know why I didn't think of gaffer tape.
