Operation: How to replace the Fiat 500 gearshift gaiter

It happens quite frequently that the rubbing generated by the gear change, but also the deterioration of the upholstery itself, which is not made of genuine leather, makes the gearshift cover boot torn and shabby; It is possible to replace this cap with a real leather one and disassembly is really simple to do; start by releasing the frame at the base of the cap to which the cap is hooked through an internal elastic; then remove the upper part of the knob by levering its base to access the knob fixing pin; once the pin and knob have been removed, it is possible to remove the cap and proceed with the installation of the new one by first fixing the base to the appropriate frame.

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.
