Open the boot lid and place a support prop underneath. Use a flathead screwdriver to detach the retaining ring that connects the gas strut to the tailgate.

With the same screwdriver, detach the support strut from the bodywork, as shown in the video. Install the new strut by simply pressing it into the female socket on the male support of the bodywork.

Snap the retaining ring that connects the strut to the tailgate, just as you did with the old strut you removed. It's that simple!

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.
