In case of a broken wing mirror glass, you can remedy by replacing just the glass and not the entire mirror: this replacement is easily available in the aftermarket; carefully lever behind the broken glass to detach it from the support and move it away enough to disconnect the heated mirror wires; then bring the new glass close, remove the adhesive film, connect the heated mirror wires, align it correctly with the support, and press until it snaps into place, taking care not to damage the plastic clips.

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.
