Remove the plastic cover located behind the handbrake and disconnect the connector using a small flat-head screwdriver. Unscrew the three exposed 10 mm nuts and remove the entire armrest.

Use the flat-head screwdriver to pry under the now exposed plastic until it detaches from the spring clips holding it in place. At this point, unscrew the two screws at the corners and lift the frame just enough to access the adjustment screw (11 mm spanner) located behind the handbrake.

Tighten this screw until the lever no longer rises more than normal, and you're done!

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.
