This video teaches us how to temporarily repair the front seat of a Citroen C4, where the head of the seat lowering mechanism is broken. The youtuber reminds us with common sense that in case of an accident, DIY repairs are heavily penalized by insurance companies, so it must be a temporary solution.

However, you just need to attach the broken head to the hook with a wire; we will start by disassembling the head of the seat, unscrewing it, then we bend a piece of wire and shape it into a hook, then with pliers we grab the broken steel wire, wrap the wire around the head of the steel wire coming from inside the seat, pass the wire through the top of the lowering mechanism, and tighten it around the locking cylinder.

Put the cover back in place by tightening the screw.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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.
