To remove the rear bumper, start with the screws along the edge of the wheel arch (it may be easier to remove the rear wheel, but it can also be done without); then move the wheel arch liner to access the screws underneath and remove the fog light by disconnecting the bulb holder; unscrew the screws along the closure edge of the rear hatch and then those along the lower edge of the bumper itself; at this point, it is possible to pull the bumper away from its seat by pulling it backwards: the bumper is actually a plastic covering strip that encases the underlying impact absorber.

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.
