Smart Forfour - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Forfour W453, MK 2 - Years 2014-2021
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: How do you replace the external rearview mirror of the Smart Forfour?

In order to replace the external rearview mirror of the Smart Forfour, you need to leverage an object to detach the triangular cover inside the door, corresponding to the mirror. Once this cover is detached, you can unscrew the screw located in the seat of the internal handle, so that the panel can be moved, providing access to the mirror connector. The mirror can now be removed from its seat by unscrewing the corresponding fixing screws; at this point, it will be possible to insert the new one, reassembling the other removed components.

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.
