Replacing the mirror of the external rear-view mirror is very simple as it is merely clipped onto the support. However, take particular care not to damage the support itself.

It is sufficient to pry at the back of the mirror to release it, then disconnect the heating element power cable. Bring the new mirror closer, connect the cable to the heating terminal, and align it with the support, pressing evenly in the centre to engage the clips.

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.
