In order to remove the luggage compartment door, it is essential to disconnect all the sockets from the various devices to free and remove the wiring: start by removing the third stop in the center of the upper part of the tailgate, disconnecting both the power socket and the washing liquid tube glasses; then remove the rubber grommet to intercept the wiring that reaches the tailgate itself from the under-roof; remove the plastic cover inside the tailgate and disconnect the wiper socket, the lock socket and finally the license plate lights; then free the wiring from the various cable glands and remove it so that the tailgate can be removed freely; then disconnect the support pistons and unscrew the fixing pins of the hinges: at this stage it is better to get a hand.

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.
