BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Glove box
Operation: How to disassemble the storage compartment in the BMW 3 Series?

As we can see in this tutorial, disassembling the storage compartment in the BMW 3 Series is an extremely simple and fast operation. First, let's go to the passenger side, then we release the door seal and detach the outer partition of the dashboard. Next, we unscrew the screw indicated with a Torx T25 key, continue by removing the lower bolts with a 10mm socket wrench, and remove the panel. At this point, all that remains is to unscrew the remaining indicated screws, remove the airbag module only after disconnecting the battery, and remove the entire storage compartment.

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.
