Open the door from the opposite side of the broken handle and do so from the inside. Once opened, you can start working: remove the cap covering the handle screw, then use a plastic trim tool (not metal, or you will scratch everything!) or a small flathead screwdriver to remove the shorter (fixed) part of the handle.

At this point, it will be easy to remove the main, longer part: simply slide it off the hooks by moving it left and right. To fit the new one, of course, proceed in reverse order.

Check the operation.

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.
