In this video we see the solution of this youtuber to solve the long-standing problem of the opening roof of the Citroen C3 Pluriel, which is transformed from automatic to manual, thus solving all the troubles of this roof. Instead of pressing a button, the owner inserts a crank at a specific point on the roof, turning it clockwise to open the hood and counterclockwise to close it. There were also kits on the market for converting the roof to manual, but they are only used online so it is impossible to give purchasing instructions: however, they include cranks, supports to be fixed to the frame and instructions for connecting the cranks directly to the transmission shaft, completely bypassing the electric motor.

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.
