It`s easy.
In a polo 9N you only have to retire the part that is fixed to the central console. Is fixed by 4 pression clips, 2 in front and 2 rear near the corners of the piece.
Then there is "something like a clip" ( I don't know how do you say that in english) that fixes the knob to the other part. You have to open it with care because if you broke that piece you would have problems to fix the knob later, or buy another.
Then with a bit of force extract the old knob from his place.
The worst is mount the new.
It depends of the knob

If you want I can send you some photographs describing the proces

It's the same thing thats on the tutorial. The only difference I can find is that the boot is not held with a elastic but with staples.
