In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and eventually replace the front seat of the BMW 3 Series. First, we open the front door and the rear door and start unscrewing all the fixing screws we find on the front seat guides, moving the seat back and forth to access them; then we disconnect the connectors below, as shown in the video.

At this point, it will be possible to remove the front seat, perform the repair or replacement; we apply the reverse process for reassembly!

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. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
