What are skid plates? They are underbody protections made of steel or aluminium that mount under the engine and the rear differential. They protect vital components of the car from impacts with stones, curbs, etc. You can find the front and rear kit on Amazon with code B095LN6FVY for £128.00, with free delivery.

For installation, clean the surfaces well, then for the front part, centre the plate, mark the points to drill the bumper (usually 4 to 6 holes), and drill with utmost caution. Secure with bolts and nuts using reinforcement washers.

For the rear part, support the plate with temporary supports, then align the plate with the existing holes (use the original holes of the brackets) and drill only where necessary. Apply silicone in critical points to seal and prevent vibrations, then secure with bolts.

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.
