Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Glove box
Operation: How to unlock the glove compartment of the Volkswagen Polo

The guide shows you how to open the Volkswagen Polo glovebox. If the drawer lock handle breaks, there is a very simple way to open the lock; in fact, only after opening the drawer is it possible to remove the door to replace it. The first step is to remove the plastic clip from the lock. At this point the inside of the closure is visible; the closing mechanism is placed on the bottom of the slot that you can see. In order to remove the constraint and open the glovebox it is necessary to use a small screwdriver or a lever for small sized plastics. By forcing the clamping piece, it is possible to release it from the closing recess and open the compartment.

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.
