Video tutorial

This video shows how to extend the dashboard of a first series Panda. First, you need a support approximately 120 cm long and some strong adhesives.

You will need two complete dashboards, which you will attach to the support. As shown in the video, start inserting them and then remove the excess parts.

To ensure the adhesive holds well, you can use clamps to hold the pieces together for a secure bond. Refit the first upper part, using small supports to make joining the pieces easier.

Now, you need to reconstruct and cover the entire right side. Use an electrician's tube to replicate the curvature of the dashboard, then create the missing cover with a plastic sheet.

Finally, use plastic filler for finishing touches. Now decide how to modify it according to your tastes; this is just a semi-finished product that you can personalise to your preferences.

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.
