Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Door
Operation: How do I remove the door panel of the Smart 451?

In order to remove the door panel of the Smart 451 you need to use torx wrenches to loosen the bolts that secure the triangular cover at the rear-view mirror. Once this has been removed, it will be necessary to loosen the bolts that secure the mirror and remove the latter as well. Then you will need to unscrew the bolts located on the side of the door, near the locking mechanism. Then you will have to remove the gasket at the base of the glass, to remove the two screws below. Once these screws have also been removed, the panel can be detached from the door.

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.
