Here's how to change the pollen filter on an Opel Astra. Open the glove compartment and unclip the plastic guides (if present on the sides of the drawer), unscrew the pins around the perimeter; rotate the glove compartment forward, remove the cover plug, and pull out the air filter from the housing as shown in the video.

Once this operation is complete, insert the new air filter into the filter holder (ensure the filter is inserted correctly without bending it). Finally, refit the cover of the box and all components of the glove compartment as they were removed previously.

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.
