Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Windshield
Operation: How to replace the windshield on a Fiat 500

Let's start by removing the front wipers, using a slotted screwdriver and prying. After that we can remove the broken windshield by pushing from the rear seats with our feet. By doing so we will have removed the windshield. Let's proceed with removing the gasket from the broken windshield, which we are going to reuse for the new windshield. To mount the new windshield we will first have to mount the gasket previously removed from the old windshield. Once this is done we will have to insert a string along the entire perimeter of the gasket, and then go and insert the windshield in its housing. Once inserted, we will have to gradually pull and remove the end of the string sticking out from the outside. Once this step is complete, we will have successfully completed the replacement, and we will be able to reassemble the wipers.

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.
