Here’s how to temporarily open the tailgate of a Citroen C3 Pluriel: From the inside, attach two straps with small hooks to the pistons. Access these by removing the plastic cover that conceals them at the top of the tailgate.

You will need to make two small holes in the cover to allow the straps to pass through. This is not a permanent solution, but if you find yourself in need, it is an empirical method to resolve an emergency.

The definitive solution is to repair or replace the lift motor. However, the YouTuber recommends keeping this safety measure for an uncertain future.

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.
