How do you fold down the rear seats of the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini F57, F56, F55, F54 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Seat

In order to fold down the rear seats, you will need to access the trunk by lifting the rear hatch of the car: once the hatch is lifted, you will be able to locate the levers on the sides of the rear headrests. By pulling the lever on the right, you can fold down the right backrest, while pulling the lever on the left will allow you to fold down the left backrest along with the center one. In this way, the backrests can be folded down; to secure them again, simply lift the backrests and secure them to the respective pins.

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
