If the windscreen wiper blades are ineffective, it is important to replace the entire blade including the support arm rather than just the rubber insert, as the rigidity of the arm is essential for proper contact of the rubber with the windscreen. Check the length of the blades against the originals and the type of attachment to the wiper arm; lift the arm, rotate the blade 90° and press the locking tab while pulling it down to detach it; then fit the new blade, also rotated 90°, and press the locking hook until the tab clicks into place.

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.
