In this video, we see how to install an armrest on a Volkswagen Transporter T5: first, let's get the armrest that we can find on AliExpress with code 1005008835449283 for the price of 38.76 euros, with free delivery. Remove the seat and unscrew the two rear torx screws and the two front nuts, extract the seat and take it to a comfortable place to work on it. Now flip it over and detach, pulling them towards us, the plastic clips under the seat; remove the fasteners and lift the cover.

Now attach the metal brackets, which are part of the kit, to the sides of the seat, aligning them with the existing holes. Tighten with torx screws, making sure the brackets are straight.

Reposition the cover, attach clips and fasteners, and with a cutter, make holes in the cover corresponding to the brackets. Now we can screw the armrests with their screws, and close the screw covers with the appropriate caps.

Reassemble the seat in its place. If we are installing armrests on both seats, work on one seat at a time.

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.
