BMW Serie 1 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 1 E87, E82, MK 1, E81 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Door panel
Operation: How to remove the front door panel on the BMW 1 Series E87

Today we will see the steps that will allow us to remove the front door panel on the BMW 1 Series E87. First we open the front door and start by removing the plastic from the grip handle, levering the sides with something thin; after which we unscrew the fixing screws that we find below, using a torx screwdriver, as shown in the video. At this point we disassemble the window lifter push-button panel, disconnecting the electrical connector, and begin to pry the sides of the panel to unhook and remove it, disconnecting the cable from the handle on the back!

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.
