Honda Insight - Video tutorial

Model: Honda Insight ZE2, ZE3 - Years 2009-2014
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: Steering wheel leather upholstery application

If the steering wheel is worn, it is possible to buy the leather cover to be sewn on site in the after market, choosing both the color of the leather and that of the stitching (generally the needle is also supplied). The first operation to perform is the thorough cleaning of the steering wheel itself; then apply the steering wheel cover by carefully orienting the seams in correspondence with the spokes of the steering wheel and apply paper tape to be able to fix it and prevent it from moving during the sewing phase. Sew therefore by passing the thread through the holes already present and taking care to keep it correctly under tension without making it knot. Once the seam is complete, tie a knot to prevent the thread from coming off.

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.
