Open the hood of the engine compartment and locate the position of the injectors. The springs that hold the injectors in place, protecting them from vibrations and keeping them aligned, are those "steel wires" indicated by the person in the video.

At this point, locate the broken clips or retainers that hold the steel wire in place and remove them to replace them with new clips. To do this, use a simple screwdriver to pry them off. To install the new clips, snap them over the rubber seals and, if necessary, gently use another small screwdriver to secure them in position (as shown in the video).

The clips are secured when you hear a click that locks them in place. The vehicle is a Mercedes diesel Class E.

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.
