BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Window motor
Operation: Disassembly of the window lifter mechanism

To be able to disassemble the window lifter mechanism, the door panel must first be disassembled by removing the relative fixing screws (underneath the inner handle grip cover) and the press-studs along the edges; then lower the glass in order to intercept the glass fixing claws and loosen the fixing pins in order to extract the glass; at this point, remove the fixing pins of the window lifting mechanism, disconnect the engine power socket and extract the mechanism from inside the door; then proceed backwards for installation.

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.
