【Car Heat Countermeasures】Shift Knob Too Hot Problem! Grip Covers You Can Drive With Installed

The moment I gripped my car's shift knob, I was shocked by its heat. To protect my hands from this phenomenon, which can be common in extreme heat, I want to install the "Grip Shift Knob Cover." With a flexible silicone material that naturally conforms to the palm, the usability is excellent.

The silicone cover that supports stable operation in both summer and winter

The "Grip Shift Knob Cover" from RAZO is a silicone cover designed for manual cars that fits over spherical shift knobs. It helps insulate against the heat that metal knobs can accumulate in summer, as well as the chill of winter, keeping the temperature from directly affecting your hands and supporting your shifting operation.

An example of installation on a Civic Type R FL5.

Made from flexible silicone, it has a heat resistance of -50 to 250°C, providing a comfortable grip that conforms to the palm while avoiding direct contact with the knob, allowing for smooth gear changes without slipping during shifts up and down.

In a manual car, you touch the shift knob each time you start, accelerate, or decelerate. The sensation upon first grip is important, but it's equally vital during long drives where you repeatedly interact with it. By using this cover, you can address issues of heat and cold without having to swap out your beloved knob. While maintaining your favorite shift feel, you can mitigate the discomfort caused by seasonal temperatures.

The hexagonal irregularities allow you to check the sensation of your fingertips

and the surface features a hexagon pattern arranged in a regular manner. This design seems to follow the front panel around the "Civic Type R FL5." The irregularities serve not only as a slip-resistant feature during driving but also cherish the fingertip sensations during delicate gear shifts.

The top surface is adorned with the RAZO logo. Simply placing it over the shift knob can easily change the impression of the driver's area. There’s no need for tools, and it’s easy to remove. It comes with three types of shift pattern stickers, allowing for matching displays on the knob.

Diameter needs to be confirmed! Installs immediately for everyday manual operation

It can be installed on spherical shift knobs with a diameter of 44 to 51 mm. It accommodates both metal and plastic materials, but it’s important to check the shape and diameter before purchasing. Please note that it is not compatible with non-spherical knobs or sizes outside the specified range.

Instead of waiting for the heat to settle, one naturally reaches for the knob once they get in. Such a small change seems to make summer manual drives even more enjoyable.
