Video tutorial

This video shows how to replace the damaged side window of a Toyota Celica. First, disconnect the battery for safety.

Remove the triangular panel at the height of the side mirror using a trim tool. With the same tool, also remove the small cover in the internal door handle area; extract the window switch block and disconnect it. Use a screwdriver to remove the caps protecting the screws near the door hinge, then use a socket wrench to start removing them.

Lift the door panel and disconnect the electrical connections. Once the remains of the old glass are removed, retrieve the screws that attach the glass to the lift arms.

These will need to be fitted to the new glass, ensuring the threaded part faces towards the cabin. The video proceeds succinctly with reassembly and checking the operation of the window lift.

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.
