In this video, you will see how to open a stuck bonnet on a Ford Fiesta (this method also applies to the Fusion and Focus) where the release cable has come loose. There are several methods: the one used by the YouTuber involved getting underneath the vehicle with a plastic spatula and, in the small gap between the bonnet and the bumper, removing the two bolts that hold the bonnet latch in place; naturally, you cannot reach this with your hands, so a "L" shaped extension like the one shown in the video is necessary.

Once the latch is detached, the bonnet opens, providing enough space to access the broken cable.

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.
