Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to disassemble the central console and the gear knob on the Kia Sportage: we start by removing the partition in the driver's footwell, which can be done by levering with a screwdriver or (better) with a plastic spatula. We do the same on the passenger side.

We remove the gear shift boot with the knob, simply by pulling it up forcefully. We lever on the inside of the cup holder so that we can remove the entire part, then we open the armrest, and inside we find four screws to remove, and one on each side from the outside.

We also remove the screws from the storage compartment at the base of the radio and remove it, being careful with the electrical connectors. We remove the screws under the radio controls and remove the entire outer part of the console.

Job done.

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.
