It often happens that when crossing another vehicle, the respective external wing mirrors touch, resulting in the breakage of the mirror itself: in this case, it is not necessary to replace the entire mirror but it is possible to purchase just the mirror glass aftermarket; to replace the glass, simply detach the broken one by levering on the back to remove it from the support and disconnect the wires of the heating system; bring the new glass close, connect the wires of the heating system, align the fixing tabs to the support, and press until it fits correctly.

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.
