How to Remove the Handbrake Lever Cover?

First, remove the front seats. Take off the entire black middle part of the handbrake. The part to be removed will then be exposed, and you can directly dismantle it.
I used to frequently disassemble and install car parts by myself, including the handbrake lever cover. It's not difficult to remove, but it requires patience and the right tools. First, turn off the engine to ensure safety—it's best to do this when the car is off. Then, you need to figure out how the cover is secured—usually with plastic clips or small screws. My car typically has clips, so I gently pry open the edges with a flathead screwdriver, being careful not to use too much force to avoid scratching the interior or breaking the clips. Some newer models might have screws, requiring a properly sized Phillips screwdriver to remove them. When taking it off, be mindful of the handbrake cable inside to avoid snagging. After pulling off the cover, check for any wear and clean off the dust. To reinstall, just align it and press firmly into place. A word of advice: if the car is an older model or has a complex design, it's safer to look up model-specific tutorials online rather than forcing it open to avoid damage. The whole process is straightforward and takes about ten minutes to complete, plus you can learn a bit about car maintenance along the way.
