Replacing the external wing mirror is very easy as it simply clips onto the support via plastic tabs. Be careful with the wiring for the demisting system; finding a new mirror is also straightforward as they are available in the aftermarket.

Bring the new mirror close to its housing, connect the demisting system wires (the direction does not matter as it powers a resistor with no polarity), and clip the tabs into the support.

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.
