Let’s see how to adapt a Fiat 500X boot for a space saver wheel, which it was not originally designed for. You need to excavate the boot to fit the space saver, but even after removing all the polystyrene, the wheel is still taller than the edge of the boot, causing the boot mat to be poorly positioned over the wheel, creating a dome shape that makes the shelf unusable.

The YouTuber solved this problem by preparing two rectangles of polystyrene about 5 cm high, cut to fit the boot space, to create the correct thickness.

This way, the boot mat sits flat and is usable again.

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.
