If the interior trim plastics appear dull or have scratches, you can make them shine again with a simple trick: just heat them with a heat gun, being careful not to get too close to the nozzle to avoid burning or warping them. If there are scratches, it is advisable to sand with fine-grit sandpaper (2000) before using the heat gun; the warm air will make the plastic almost sweat, restoring a bright and uniform colour.

It is recommended to treat all accessible plastics to make them as uniform as possible.

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.
