If you want to give the interior of your car a more modern and captivating look, you can buy a leather boot from the after market to be applied to the handbrake lever overlapping it with the standard plastic one; they are available in different colors also with contrasting stitching; once you have chosen the one that best matches the interior of your car, you have to unscrew the penis on the back of the central tunnel lining in order to remove the plastic cover and free the handbrake lever; then apply the cap and then refit the plastic cover.

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.
