folks...how do i pop off the plastic cover, in order to adj the hand parking brake cable bolts, on my 1993 940?



it looks like i should be able to get into the rear seat, pop out the ash tray, and somehow remoce the plastic trim piece...any help or ideas "out in cyber space" today?



thanx...richard / colorado


First remove the two screws which hold the handbrake opening "brushes", the seat heat switches and gear lever surround and the metal clip in front of the gear lever. The two screws may reside under plastic pieces which hide the screw heads. Then remove the two screws underneath the floor of the armrest/ tidy-bin. They are underneath a rectangular "hide" panel in the middle of the bottom of the tidy. You can then remove the whole centre piece (rearwards to clear front edges, then upwards) which will expose the handbrake mechanism. The handbrake is adjusted by turning the large plastic "nut" on the cable as it enters the rear of the handbrake mechanism mounting. There is not a lot of room to do the job if you only take out the Ashtray/passenger foot lamp assembly.

Cheers, Peter.

thanx peter...
