Subaru Forester - Video tutorial

Model: Subaru Forester SG, MK 2 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Door panel
Operation: How to remove the door panel on Subaru Forester

We perform the disassembly of the left front door panel of a Subaru Forester. We disconnect the battery terminals in the engine compartment; using a screwdriver, unscrew the screws located in the space of the upper lever of the door opening and the screws present in the handle (if present). We remove the window control panel located in the door panel. Finally we detach the panel with our hands and unhook it from the door (we disconnect the power cables and the opening cable). We carry out maintenance inside the door and then reassemble all the pieces.

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.
