A simple way to refresh the slightly damaged side panels of your Hyundai Accent. First, remove the internal handles that are scratched and discoloured.

You only need to remove the screw that holds them to the upholstery, and they will come off easily. Clean and degrease them thoroughly, then paint them in your preferred colour.

Here, they are a nice satin grey. A couple of coats will be necessary.

While they dry, you can work on the covering, which you will create in two colours. Using upholstery vinyl (available in all colours - glossy, matte, even graphite-like - and can be found on all major e-commerce platforms), shape the mask for the top part of the panel.

Also shape the area where the handle will go, leaving a small border. Tuck the edges in with a spatula into the connections between the panels.

Now you can refit the handle. Great job!

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.
