Do you want to remove the cover of the handbrake lever on a Ford Focus to adjust the tension? This guide shows you how to proceed: using a plastic spatula, remove the leather cover of the handbrake lever (unscrew the screws above the plastic part, then slide off the leather cover).

Make the necessary adjustments to the handbrake and then reassemble everything.

Fit the covering around the handbrake, reinstall the storage compartment, and attach the leather-covered trim to the clips of the handbrake on the centre console. Test the correct functioning of the handbrake.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
