How to open car headlights.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Headlight

Video tutorial

There are two types of front headlights: those with thermoplastic adhesive that can be easily opened with a heat gun, and those that are electro-welded, which the YouTuber addresses in this video. You will need a cardboard box with a hole made on one side, where you will place the headlight inside for about 15 minutes.

Do this outdoors and do not use your home oven! Now, use a screwdriver and a utility knife to remove the adhesive while it is still warm. If you want to paint, sand it down and then apply a silicone remover, followed by primer.

Allow it to dry and then apply a second coat. Remember that the paint should be applied within half an hour, or it won't adhere properly.

The first coat should be very light; it's better to apply multiple coats. Reassemble using polymer adhesive in the groove, ensuring you only apply it inside.

Then, reattach the tabs, and there's no need to heat it.

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.
