Having more space to store items inside the vehicle is always very useful. To add new space, you need to obtain the storage kit that also serves as an armrest to be installed on the centre console.

For installation, remove the drink holder cover and then remove the three self-tapping screws that secure it. Position the armrest above the handbrake, inserting the circular part into the rear drink holder compartment previously removed. Secure the armrest firmly with the three screws provided in the kit. Ensure that the armrest is secure and can lift freely for easy access to the underlying handbrake lever.

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.
