Stick shift rubber disintegrating 1995 Volvo 940!

The rubber on the shift knob in my 1995 940 Volvo is completely disintegrating and falling off in junks! I'm sure this is fairly common for a car this old. I've tried to "super glue" some of the pieces back in place, but it's a lost cause! So, what to do now? Can the rubber somehow be replaced to where it looks good once again? Is this a dealer item? And how much work is involved in replacing the handle with a new one....if that's my only alternative? Also, the mirror piece on drivers side has cracked. Where can I get just the mirror, not the whole assembly on the drivers side rear view mirror? Thanks for any help!

If the rubber is so bad then I think you are looking at a new/used knob.

You could try: http://www.erievovo.com/ who may be able to help at less cost than a dealer. Failing that try your local breaker's yard.

The mirror glass should be available at any good car parts store.

Thanks for the tip! If I were to find a new/different knob how are they installed on this model? Is it less difficult than it looks?

I understand it is auto transmission. Not too difficult but you do need to be strong!!
