Let's see how to replace the window regulator and motor on a Seat Leon 1: we remove the panel, remove the seals and disconnect the motor connector. The mechanism has 10 fixing screws that we need to remove; we also remove the glass supports, and detach the adhesive tape.

We temporarily connect the new motor, which we can find on tarostrade. It has the code 251-0620-N-100214 at the price of 25.29 euros + 6.49 euros for shipping; we use the window regulator to position the supports in front of the inspection wells, then disconnect the motor.

Now we proceed with the final assembly by putting back the silicone seal, repositioning the central locking cables, inserting the rubber guide rings for the cables, positioning the inner panel and connecting the central locking socket. We slide the glass into the supports, which we tighten without overdoing it. We reconnect the motor (and test its operation).

We reconnect the electrical connectors, put the cables back in place, reassemble the seals, the panel, the handle cover and the support screws. It is a job that requires patience and a couple of hours available, but it saves all the labor costs.

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.
