To replace the rocker cover gasket on a Mini Cooper R56, remove all the bolts surrounding the cover and clean any remnants of the old gasket with a cloth and solvent. Fit the new gasket (costs £12.55 on auto-doc, plus £9.95 for shipping).

In the corners (only in the corners), use black silicone paste for better adhesion (available on Amazon for £11.89 with free delivery). This job should take no more than 30 minutes.

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.
