Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Soft top
Operation: How do you remove the hood of the Fiat 500 Cabrio?

In order to remove the hood of the Fiat 500, you have to press the special button located inside the passenger compartment, so that the hood is completely lowered. Once this has been lowered, it will be necessary to remove the fixing screws that secure it to the sliding tracks, also disconnecting any cables from the actuators. When the old hood has been completely removed, it will be possible to insert the new one into its housing: this must then be connected to the appropriate rails with the bolts, connecting the motors.

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.
