Cadillac ATS - Video tutorial

Model: Cadillac ATS MK 1 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Grille
Operation: How to install the grille on the front of the Cadillac Ats.

The mesh grille instead of the standard one actually gives the car a much more modern look. To remove the original grille, you need to remove all the plastic clips around the grille - and there are many - and remove them carefully to avoid breaking any that may get stuck in the slots where the new one will be inserted. Remove the emblem of the car, which will be used later. Now cut out the central part of the mask, leaving only the outlines, which you will file carefully. If something breaks, you can repair it with liquid plastic, tape to hold the shape, and a lot of attention. Then we will reshape it with the file when it is dry. If necessary, we will also use two-component putty, which we will color black when it is dry and will become invisible. Now we will position the grille, which we will temporarily fix with cable ties and bodywork tape to avoid scratching the frame. We will apply a generous amount of two-component glue around the entire perimeter of the frame. In the meantime, we have also painted the Cadillac emblem black. We position it in the center and glue it very well. Remove the cable ties and we are done. The result is splendid. Put the masks back in place. Job done.

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.
