Following these short steps, we will see how to disassemble and possibly replace the front seat of the BMW 5 Series. First, we open the front door and begin to remove the plastic covers that we find on the seat rails; then we use a torx key or screwdriver to unscrew all the screws, moving the seat back and forth to access them, as shown in the video.

At this point, we disconnect all the wiring of the adjustments and the airbag to remove it from the cabin, applying the reverse process for reassembling the seat!

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
