Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Windshield
Operation: Installation of the chromed profiles in the front and rear windshield gaskets of the vintage 500

In this video, our nice youtuber shows us how to insert the chrome profile - a real must for vintage 500s - inside the rubber seal that finishes the front and rear windshields. The profiles of the 500 "L" are mounted which have a sort of channel inside. In this channel we will insert the comato profile. If you don't have this profile. Either you change it and put this on or give up the job. You can find the chrome profiles on the shop. Emporiobigatti. Com. The appropriate instrument will also be indispensable (to which not even the youtuber has been able to give a name, but which has a diamond-shaped point and you understand why). First we will have to slightly lubricate the gasket, in order to facilitate the sliding of the anchor. It is a very general lubrication, so even a little soap and water will suffice. The application is very simple, the critical moment is the curves. When we get to the bottom, we cut off the excess. There is a joint to fix, a paper clip covering it. Job finished.

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.
