Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: Replacement of the external rearview mirror of the Mercedes C-Class.

If, following an impact, the mirror of the Mercedes C-Class rearview mirror were to break, let's see how to proceed with the replacement. Using the appropriate controls, we tilt the mirror to be replaced inside the mirror housing, using a plastic lever to avoid the risk of scratching the surfaces. We release the clips that hold the mirror to the orientation system and slide it out, remove the two electrical connectors, taking the opportunity to clean the terminals with a suitable product. We take the new mirror, insert the connectors, place the clips in their seats, and push until we hear the click that confirms the locking.

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.
