Following today's instructions, learn how to remove and replace the gear knob of the automatic gear lever on the Kia Sportage. First, get inside the cabin and start by removing the plastic cover of the centre tunnel, disconnecting the electrical connector found underneath; then pull the gear knob upwards with force until it detaches completely (separating it from the gear gaiter), as shown in the video.

At this point, install the new gear knob, securing it properly onto the lever; then reassemble the centre tunnel cover!

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.
