An accessory that may seem insignificant at first glance but can be very useful, especially on the Fiat 500, is the boot handle. Indeed, at the back of the rear seat, to pull it down from the boot, there is only a small strap that is quite impractical because it is small and does not allow for much force to pull down the backrest.

However, there is a type of leather strap that allows for a stronger pull and can be easily replaced compared to the existing strap. You can find it on store.blackparts.it, in various car accessories.

There are different types starting from £15.00. Alternatively, you can also find them on eBay, also in leather, branded Abarth, for £27.94.

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.
