On the inside, slightly open the handle to remove the protective panel where the screws are located using a screwdriver as a lever. After unscrewing the 9 mm bolt, lift the window control panel to disconnect the connectors and remove the entire inner door panel, starting to pull it from the bottom.

Also disconnect the wires attached to the handle and remove the protective film. To remove the outer handle, access it from the side of the door.

Once the bolt is unscrewed, you can remove the part of the outer handle where the key is inserted. To remove the rest, lift it and disconnect the wires; you could replace just the chrome part if desired.

After ensuring that the parts match, retrace all steps carefully, paying attention to the wire connections, necessary fittings, and seals.

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.

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.
