who's going to be first?
Pull it... upwards.
Watch out you don't punch your own lights out, and watch you dont break your rear-view mirror.

welcome to the zone.
Assuming it's a factory fitted knob...
Simple. Grasp with both hands and yank it.

I had trouble with mine the other day, turns out it was screwed in through the top, i had to lift the "h" badge off the top with a flat screwdriver to find out though... only took me about a year to get it off

Be careful.. It could also be glued down. Mine was. If it comes to that, carefully chip away at the plastic with a screwdriver or multi grips and then clean it up.
