BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Replacement of the sun shield support bracket

The sunshade on the passenger side is fixed to the sky with a hinge on the right side and a support bracket on the left: on the left side the sunshade is interlocked and, if necessary, can be unhooked and rotated to shield the sun on the side window; it may happen that this support damages them but it can easily be replaced with a new one; to perform this replacement it is not necessary to disassemble the support hinge (as shown in the video) but just move the sunshade far enough away to access the bracket, open the tabs that hide the fixing screws and unscrew them and then proceed backwards for the installation of the new support.

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.
