Start removing all the bolts on the edges of the door near the lever to direct the rearview mirror and consequently pull this small compartment paying attention to the cables to direct the mirror in order to remove the small plastic triangle just lift a lever that blocks the system of movement of the mirror. Now we are going to unscrew the other bolts again so that we can remove the mirror, after which we are going to free the handle from the bolts through a couple of clips on the inside of the door and by sliding the handle to the left we can detach the connectors from the handle. Now we remove the bolt that is located on the area where the mirror was previously present. Now we gently pull the door out and that's it.

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.
