BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: Removing the external rear-view mirror

In order to remove the exterior rearview mirror, you must first remove the door trim panel (see reference guide). Once the panel has been removed, remove the pressure clips along the front edge of the door which secure the plastic covering which also includes the cover with the grille present right in correspondence with the mirror; unscrew the fixing pin of the twitter (which actually also fixes the mirror) and the lower pin to complete the disassembly of the mirror, also disconnecting the grip of the adjustment controls.

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.
