To install the armrest along the central tunnel, first remove the existing one along the side of the seat: remove the cap, loosen the armrest's fixing pin, and dismantle the two screws and bracket; then apply the plastic cover and the corresponding cap. Next, proceed to remove the central tunnel covering by taking out the clips and some screws; dismantle the support bracket for the cables located just behind the handbrake and replace it with the one included in the armrest installation kit. Drill holes in the back of the central tunnel's plastic covering to allow the fixing pins of the new armrest and its bracket to pass through.

Reinstall the tunnel covering complete with armrest.

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.
