Remove the door panel from the Passat? Here’s how to detach it from the top of the door. Remove the covers for the screws located near the handle and near the door opening lever.

Unscrew the screws under the handle and throughout the panel. Disconnect the clips securing the door panel (behind the panel).

Grip the panel with your hands and, using leverage, detach it from the door without bending it (connect the electrical connectors behind the panel). Fit the new cover panel with the corresponding electrical connectors, screws, and plastics.

Check the correct assembly of the plastics.

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.
