Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: How to cover the exterior rearview mirror of a Fiat 500

To cover the upper part of the rear view mirror of a Fiat 500 we need a sheet of vinyl of the color we want. We pull it up to the max with a body shop hair dryer and then apply it still hot on the mirror. In this way we can model it, always with the help of the hairdryer and a plastic spatula that helps us to model the vinyl on the mirror. Then with a cutter we cut the extra parts, making them fit a little into the spaces between the connections of the various pieces. Of course this is special vinyl, which you can find on all major e-commerce platforms.

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.
