Part: Windshield
Operation: Windshield replacement on the Smart Fortwo 451

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the windshield on the Smart Fortwo 451, following the instructions below. First we remove the front hood, opening the levers; then we use a T20 torx screwdriver to unscrew the grille fixing screws that we find under the wiper arms; complete by unscrewing the side screws with a T30 torx wrench. At this point we can pry the sides of the windshield with something thin, in order to detach it; let's remove it and replace it with the new one, applying the reverse procedure!

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.
