Who hasn't personalised their car in their youth? Here’s a fun accessory that is easy to install. Obtain the kit and proceed as follows: use a flathead screwdriver to pry between the plastic of the knob and the support until you remove the cover.

Unscrew the nut that secures the knob to the gear lever with a wrench. Carefully remove the knob and slide off the gaiter covering the gear lever.

Retrieve the retaining spring at the base of the old gaiter and fit it onto the new one. Refit the gaiter onto the support and secure the end to the gear lever. Install the new knob, which will be fixed to the gear lever using an Allen key and a threaded bolt.

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.
