To replace the leather gaiter that protects the gear lever on the Fiat Panda, first, remove the gear knob. To do this, hold the lever at the gaiter and pull the knob firmly to extract it from its seat (do not rotate the knob either clockwise or counterclockwise).

Remove the spring found inside the lever once the knob is extracted. Now pull the leather gaiter off by tugging at the base to disengage the clips holding it in place.

Next, remove the plastic piece at the top of the gaiter by simply pulling it off. Also, remove the circular piece at the base that secures it in position. At this point, fit the new gaiter, ensuring to position the circular piece in the same way as the old gaiter (make the same slots in the same position on the new gaiter).

Finally, reassemble everything in position.

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.
