BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Door panel
Operation: Removing the door panel ashtrays

Once the door panel has been disassembled, it is quite simple to complete the disassembly of the elements that compose it. The glove compartment, inside which there is the ashtray, is glued to the panel from the inside: by levering it along the edges it is easily detached. Then open the ashtray door, remove the container from the inside and check for any fixing screws on the bottom; or it could be present from the outside. In any case it is very simple to complete the disassembly. To reassemble or better glue the glove compartment again, it is suggested to use hot glue.

Disassembly of the gear knob on the Lancia Ypsilon 2

Today we will see, in this video tutorial, how to remove and replace the gear knob on the second series Lancia Ypsilon, but also on the Lancia Musa, in simple and quick steps. We get inside the car and start by removing the old gear knob; to do this, just unscrew it anticlockwise, as shown in the video. At this point we also remove the gearshift gaiter, in order to replace, if necessary, it too; we just have to fix the new headset and insert the new gear knob, screwing it correctly and without creating play on the gear lever!
