If the buttons on the key cover are damaged, you can replace the cover itself by purchasing it aftermarket without needing to replace the entire key; you should leverage the seam between the two shells to separate them: it is recommended to use just the cover with the buttons, shifting only the electronic circuit to avoid disassembling the key; however, if you want to move the key blade to the other half of the shell, you will need to release the spring mechanism, taking care to preload the spring during the assembly phase.

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.
