After removing the radio (for which you can refer to other tutorials), unscrew the two upper screws located in the space left free by the radio. Remove the cup holder and unscrew the two side screws.

Turn the air vents as if they were blowing towards the sky of the cabin, thus creating space to unscrew the two small screws at the top (one screw per vent). Remove the entire plastic piece containing the vents and the central dashboard frame, and disconnect the cables.

For reassembling the new parts, proceed in reverse order.

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.
