    I’m always accessing the compartments under the backseats and I have passengers in the back seat every now and then...the problem is the buckles will sink beneath the seats if I access the compartments and my passengers will struggle to find them. Has anyone come up for a solution for this?

    Yes, I know I can just lift the buckles myself whenever I access the compartments but there has to be an easier way to go about this.

    The seat backs have pockets you can tuck the buckles into. On the door sides for the belts, there are plastic retention guides to hold the seat belt in place.

    There are pockets built into the seat backs for the belt buckles. Use those when you access the storage compartments.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Need @MESO to whip up some sweet 810C0320-AA10-4D04-BA4A-C9D98AF8FCB7.jpg seat belt buckle stops. The ones at the auto parts stores suck (I could use at least 4 of them)0428EDC5-D056-449D-B200-AEBC713A28C6.jpg

    Like you, I'm always accessing the compartments under the rear seats. I've never really thought about it much. I've gotten pretty adept at putting them back in place when putting the seat down. I'll have to search for the pockets next time.
