BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: Change BMW E46 mirror

Do we want to replace the mirror from inside the mirror of a BMW? Let's see how the piece is removed from inside the mirror. We pry between the perimeter of the mirror frame and the mirror of the same. We pry until the mirror detaches from the mirror (we disconnect the power cable from behind the mirror). We assemble the new mirror, we are careful to hook the plastic snap clips into the mirror supports. We adjust the mirror in the mirror plastics once the assembly is finished (we use the shift keys or the manual lever).

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.
