Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to remove the black plastic cover of the external rearview mirror of the Volvo XC40: the first step is to remove a small plastic cover located behind the rearview mirror. You can do this gently with your hands.

Next, remove the second cover of the panel on the windshield, which can be taken off from one side using a plastic trim tool to avoid scratching the plastic or glass. Then, apply pressure on the sides to remove the entire cover.

Underneath, you will find the front camera (important to know if you need to replace it later). This is a component that should not be disturbed unnecessarily, as the tabs are not very sturdy and could loosen, causing noise.

Reassemble everything in reverse order.

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.
