BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Door panel
Operation: How to remove the BMW interior panel 3

Replacing the panel on a BMW 3 Series? Let's see the disassembly. We detach the protective plastic above the panel with a lever: we unscrew the screws placed inside it and the screws in the space of the upper lever of the door opening. Remove the window control panel, unscrew the remaining screws on the door panel and detach the fastening clips. We unhook the panel from the door (we disconnect the power cables and the opening cable). We carry out the desired maintenance inside the door and mount the new panel (we tighten all the fastening screws).

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
