Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: How to change the mirror cap on Fiat 500

If we have a broken mirror, don't worry about assembling the new piece, let's see how to disassemble the shell. With a plastic lever we go to pry between the perimeter of the mirror frame and the mirror glass of the same. We pry until the glass comes off the mirror (we disconnect the power cable); very delicate operation because the mirror could break. We unclip the plastic clips to disconnect the mirror cover; we replace the damaged shell with the new one. We are careful to hook the plastic snap clips into the mirror supports during the assembly of the shell.

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.
