Mazda 3 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Removing the windscreen pillar trim

In order to remove the plastic covering of the windscreen pillar, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the pillar is fixed with two pressure clips (one lower and one upper) and adherence is guaranteed by two other supports in which it is slipped into a sled. To be able to disassemble it, it is therefore necessary to first unhook the pressure clips and then slide the covering towards the halt until it comes out of the guides. Once disassembled, it is much easier to understand the fixing system and then repeat the operation for assembly: insert it into the guides and then fit the clips.

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.
