Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to remove the air conditioning radiator from its housing, to repair or replace it, without having to disassemble the entire dashboard. In this case, the operation is done on a Kia Optima, but the system is valid for most BMWs; Warning: not all cars are made this way, so the system may not be valid for all vehicles.

We will only need to remove the glove compartment (we are of course talking about a left-hand drive): on the left we will find a plastic partition, and from here we can simply remove the radiator by pulling it towards us.

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.
