Replacing the external rear-view mirror is very simple to carry out and does not require special tools or the removal of the door panel: it is sufficient to remove the triangular plastic cover located just behind the mirror housing, unscrew the mounting pins, and take out the mirror by sliding out the adjustment controls.

For installation, simply reverse the process, first inserting the adjustment controls into the designated hole, then securing the mirror with the respective pins and repositioning the plastic cover.

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.
