Operation: How to repair a convertible top with little expense

We start our maintenance by cleaning our hood well, first of all vacuuming it perfectly. Now we prepare the mixture of water and neutral soap to wash it thoroughly, with a soft brush, then rinse it with a low pressure water jet. Surely the hood will no longer be water repellent. With a vacuum cleaner for liquids, we suck up the excess water: in this way we will also vacuum up any remaining dirt. Let it dry well and you will be surprised that the fabric looks like new again. At this point it is essential to use a suitable product to re-waterproof the hood. (the product is shown in the video). Now we have to mask the glass parts and the bodywork of the car well, to prevent the product from damaging them. Spray the product abundantly and then spread it well with a brush so that the fabric soaks well. Roll it out with linear movements, without haste. Now repeat the operation, only by spraying and letting it dry. Now you can - carefully - remove the paper, and let it dry for at least 24 hours. You will have unparalleled water repellency.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
