BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Door panel
Operation: Rear door panel removal instructions

Removing the rear door panel is very simple to carry out and requires no special equipment other than a little care in unhooking the trim molding on the arm rest insert and the one covering the handle grip; once these inserts have been removed, unscrew the screws below and pry along the edges to release the pressure locks: the ideal would be to use a plastic lever but covering a screwdriver with insulating tape is still a good solution; once the panel has been removed from its seat, unhook the lock cable and that of the electric window control.

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.
