On the front pillar on the driver's side, there is a handle that you need to remove: to do this, take off the cover clips and unscrew the underlying 10 mm bolts. Disconnect the seal between the door and the pillar, then remove the pillar cover using a plastic lever.

Unscrew the screws securing the dashboard under the steering wheel, remove it, and then unscrew the screws that were hidden by that cover. At this point, you can manually remove the speedometer frame and the entire upper dashboard above the steering wheel.

Finally, unscrew the side screws that secure the instrument cluster and speedometer, and you're done.

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.
