To replace the tailgate lock on a Volkswagen Golf, open the tailgate to access the screws securing the internal plastic trim. Once these screws are loosened, detach the internal trim to reach the screws holding the lock actuator in 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.
