Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Soft top
Operation: Smart Fortwo roof / soft top removal

In this very simple and practical video we will see how to remove the hood of a Smart Fortwo. First of all we go to open our hood from the remote control or from the inside of the car: then to remove it we go to disassemble the external uprights by opening the tailgate of the boot and by pressing on the side uprights we go to remove them, as shown in the video. Once removed, place the uprights in the tailgate in the appropriate spaces. At this point our little car will be totally uncovered as a convertible, all in a few minutes!

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.
