Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: Replace the external rearview mirror of the Volkswagen Polo.

Let's briefly see in this guide the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the external rearview mirror of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all, we open the front door and start disassembling and removing the door panel, unscrewing the fixing screws that we find on the sides and disconnecting the electrical connector of the window switch panel; then we unscrew the fixing screws of the rearview mirror, using a screwdriver or a T20 torx key, as shown in the video. Now we slide out and replace the mirror from the outside, reassembling everything!

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.
