Normal Mod Seized Alternator450 Fortwo452 Roadster

Premium Mod Servicing The Clutch Actuator450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster

Normal Mod Slime Puncture Repair Kit450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

This was done on a 451 fortwo but similar can easily be done on other smarts. I bought a Slime Smart Repair kit from eBay. You get a compressor and puncture repair fluid. Option 1 I used a knife to carve out some of the passenger side polystyrene footwell block. The...

Normal Mod Slow Window Fix450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

Slow Electric Windows If your windows aren't going up very quickly, stop or need a hand to lift, it's probably not the motor. The glass has to be held securely to stop movement when driving and stop water ingress. But it needs to be loose enough for the window to...
