In this video, we will see how to remove the center console of a Kia Sportage. First, we need to remove the side covers located in the footwell on both sides, which are installed only by pressure.

Underneath, we will find a screw that needs to be removed. In the central part of the console, there is a storage compartment where, under a rubber mat, we find two more 10mm bolts.

The gear shift boot is also installed by pressure, which we can simply remove by pulling it up with force. Inside, we will find three screws to remove and an electrical connector to disconnect.

Pulling the console towards us, we will find another connector to disconnect at the top, and then we can remove the entire piece.

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.
