To adjust the handbrake on your car, there are usually two bolts located behind it, hidden by a protective plastic cover, which you can use to set the tension of the handbrake lever by loosening or tightening them. On our Fiat Punto, the situation is similar: remove the plastic around the handbrake and the cup holder, either by hand or with a flat screwdriver.

At this point, you can notice the 10 mm bolt that regulates the handbrake. Tighten or loosen it and test by pulling and releasing the handbrake until you find the ideal setting.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
