Video tutorial

It often happens that when retrieving your vehicle after parking, you find the rear light chipped, damaged, or even missing a piece. Before considering replacing it with a new or used one, it is possible to repair it with a special kit that includes adhesive strips, both the simple red cover and the honeycomb profile that acts as a diffuser.

If the damage is only to the red part, simply cut a strip and stick it on after thoroughly cleaning the surface. If the break is on the honeycomb area, first shape a piece of diffuser film and then apply it over the red strip and glue it.

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.
