Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Roof Rack Bars
Operation: Mounting bars on Fiat 500

Let's see the assembly of the door bars on a new model Fiat 500. We assemble the bar holder kit (as in the video) with the bars calibrated according to the width of the car. We rest the brackets at the two ends of the doors on the original handrails of the car. Once the width of the anchoring brackets has been adjusted, we tighten the pins with the butterfly bolt (lock if present) until they are completely anchored above the car roof body. At the end of the assembly we just have to cover the screws with the cover caps. We remove the bars from the roof of the car at the end of use.

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.
