Video tutorial

The video demonstrates not only the replacement of the key shells (or covers) for the remote key but also the repair of the remote itself with the installation of micro switches: these are easily obtainable aftermarket parts and the procedure is similar for many Opel models; it is a common fault such that when the micro switches start to fail, excessive force is applied, leading to breaking the covers of the shell.

Start by separating the key from the remote, then open the remote's shells, move the battery contact tabs, clean the circuit, and install the new micro switches before reassembling everything with the new covers.

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.
