A well-maintained bodywork greatly rejuvenates the appearance of your car. The following guide shows how to restore the appearance of a car's plastic through the use and application of a gel suitable for body shops, readily available in any shop specializing in body repair supplies. The gel adheres to the surfaces to be treated without dripping, reaching perfectly the corners of the car doors. Once the gel has been applied to the surface of the car, you can use a sponge or cloth to pass it evenly over the part that interests us.

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.
