How do you install the bike rack on the Smart car?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

In order to install the bike rack on the Smart, you need to remove the entire rear panel: to do this, you will need to open the rear hatch and then detach the side panels of the rear compartment. The fixing screws that hold the panel in place will need to be loosened, and then the rivets and screws located at the bottom and inside the wheel arches will also need to be removed. Once the rear panel has been removed, you will be able to locate the hooks on which to attach the bike rack, which can then be properly secured.

How to Replace the Rear Light and Bulbs on a Ford Focus Year 2000

To replace the rear light and bulbs on a Ford Focus 2000/2004, first, open the tailgate of the boot. This gives access to the screw that holds the rear light in place. The screw to undo (using an appropriate screwdriver) is located inside the light and corresponds to the fold that accommodates the tailgate (as shown in the images). Once you start to undo it, continue with the operation and then remove the nut from the inside of the bodywork. At this point, you can remove the light, being careful to disconnect the electrical supply by unplugging the connectors or removing the entire bulb holder from its housing. This way, you can replace the bulbs. To reassemble everything, simply follow the described operations in reverse order.
