Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: How to replace the rearview mirror cap on a Fiat 500

Before starting, we will have to get out of the cockpit of our Fiat 500, and then head towards the rearview mirror. So let's start by disengaging and removing the side mirror glass. After that, we will have to go and unclip the clips that secure the hood to the rearview mirror. By doing so, we will have freed the canopy itself. At this point, we will have to disengage and remove the cap from its housing, and we will have completed the disassembly. To fit the new shell, we will have to follow these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.

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.
