Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this guide we will see the main information on how to adjust the height of the front headlights of the Smart Fortwo, in simple steps. First, we open the front hood of the car and position ourselves in front of a fixed reference, with low light; the front headlight is equipped on the top with the headlight adjustment motor, adjustable also through the manual plastic screw, as shown in the video. Once the height of both optical groups is aligned, we can make the final automatic adjustment through the specific control on board the car.

How to Replace the Gear Shift Gaiter of the Honda CR-V

You can purchase an aftermarket gear shift cover complete with a knob, made of leather with coloured stitching. The disassembly is quite straightforward: start by unscrewing the gear shift knob by twisting it. Next, detach the trim at the base of the gear lever by prying along the edges. Then, remove the chrome trim that holds the gaiter in place, peeling off the leather edges from the plastic support. Apply new double-sided adhesive to the plastic tabs to insert and stick the edges of the new gaiter, securing it with the chrome trim. Finally, fit the gaiter complete with the knob onto the gear lever, securing it with the appropriate screws and reattaching the trim to the tunnel support.
