The handbrake handle cover can be removed. It is a slide-and-clip type mechanism. It can be removed by pulling up at the rear part with curved fingers. Start at one side first and then the other. DO NOT LIFT ALL THE WAY UP, but just enough to release the hooks/tabs at the rear. Slide the loosened handbrake cover towards the rear. The front of the cover has a tab that slides into a slot at the front of the handbrake.

Once the cover is released, the black rubber part can be removed (it is glued) and replaced with the colored leather of your choice by a good leather shop if desired.
