If the boot of your Fiat Grande Punto is stuck, it’s easy to panic, but you should know that it is possible to open a stuck boot from the outside. To do this, pull the front wiper and the rear wiper, then apply slight pressure outward.

Designed as an emergency exit in case of an accident, once you pull the wiper, the tailgate will open without issues. This manoeuvre can be performed multiple times, but we recommend visiting a garage to resolve the problem.

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.
