Video tutorial

In this video, our friendly YouTuber shows how to insert the chrome profile - a must-have for classic 500s - into the rubber seal that finishes the front and rear windscreens. It is essential to have the profiles from the 500 "L" which have a sort of channel inside.

We will insert the chrome profile into this channel. If you do not have this profile, either replace it with this one or abandon the job. You can find chrome profiles at shop.emporiobigatti.com. The special tool will also be indispensable (even the YouTuber could not name it, but it has a diamond shape and you can understand why). First, lubricate the seal slightly to facilitate the sliding of the insert.

A very generic lubrication will suffice, so a bit of water and soap will do. The application is very simple, the critical moment is the curves. When you reach the end, cut off the excess.

You need to tidy up the joint with a clip that covers it. Job done.

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.
