If the rear bonnet of your Citroen C3 Pluriel does not close properly, it may have the same issue as our YouTuber, who discovered that there was a cable inside the protective sheath that was bending abnormally and eventually broke, preventing the tailgate from opening.

He found it inside the left sheath, but it could also be on the other side.

The YouTuber identified another problem: water that remains under the "Citroen" lettering on the tailgate handle, which is hollow inside. In these small compartments, water gets trapped and has no way to evaporate, which can lead to rust issues.

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.
