Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Window motor
Operation: How to remove the window lifters of a Smart Fortwo

How to remove the window lifters of a Smart Fortwo? Let's see the guide. We unscrew with a socket wrench and suitable insert, the pins of the glass rail. We remove both internal and external glass gaskets (if necessary); we remove the glass making it slide upwards and being careful not to break it. Always disassemble the window lifter motor with the socket wrench, disconnect the power supply terminals and pull it out of its seat. We remove the track and the window lifter from the door sheet. Let's start reassembling everything, starting from the track and the window lifter (let's get help from someone in supporting the glass).

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.
