Part: Gearshift gaiter
Operation: How to replace the Fiat 500L gear gaiter

To replace the Fiat 500l gear knob gaiter (in the video the entire lever has been disassembled, but this procedure can be performed with the gear lever fitted in the car), unhook the button that holds the gear knob gaiter, remove the entire cap, making the bottom plate of the cap come out of the joints; after removing the headset, remove the chromed plate from the headset by removing it from the joints of the headset bracket, remove the circular headset bracket and fit it into the new gearshift headset making it fit well, then insert the new headset into the chromed plastic making it fit and finally with the button open we insert the cap into the gear lever by buttoning the button where there are teeth in the lever.

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.
