If activating the window switch causes the motor to run but the glass does not move, it means the plastic claws that pull the glass during the up and down phase have failed. There is a repair kit available that replaces the plastic claws with metal ones, but to carry out this replacement, you need to disassemble the window mechanism and have some familiarity with this type of device, as it is not straightforward to maintain the cable adjustment.

A quicker solution is to replace the entire mechanism, which is also relatively inexpensive. If you still want to attempt the repair, remove the door panel, the speaker, and then the window regulator mechanism; detach the plastic sliders and attach the new ones while keeping the cable in position using snap pliers.

Connect the mechanism temporarily and test its operation before installation; finally, reverse the steps for installation, lubricating the glass sliding guides with silicone spray.

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.
