The badges applied to the rear of the vehicle displaying the brand and model information are generally fixed with double-sided adhesive (in the past, they were fixed with pegs that pressed into specific holes, making their removal quite unsightly) and can be removed very easily without leaving any marks.

It is suggested to warm them with a hairdryer (a standard one for hair will suffice, not necessarily a professional one used by bodyshops) to loosen the adhesive, then detach them using nylon string or a plastic spatula; finally, remove any excess adhesive with a degreaser or solvent.

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.
