rear footwell straps.....

[megadyptes]

Ramdom question comming up.....

Having dropped something in the rear footwell of the XL this morning, I noticed a couple of small black straps on the base of the rear seats - kind of where your ankles would be if you were sitting in the back. Haven't got the manual to hand and I'm curious to know what they're for, any ideas?

I thought they may be related to isofix but am not convinced,alternatively, they're designed as fixing points for keeping misbehaving kids legs from kicking you in the back

they are for holding your golf umbrella

Nah, can't be.... the boot's more than big enough for a set of clubs and the XL isn't a car for the mid-life crisis

Not clubs, an umbrella just. the straps open and umbrella sits in secure.

Never used it either and dont have children, but sounds like an idea.

Someone had to do it didnt they!!

Prefer the Will Melor parody, myself.....

Did wonder about connecting some bungy cord between the two kids legs - same principles as the idiot string used to stop kids loosing their gloves - that way at least they'd only be able to kick one seat at a time.

Been on their merchandise website,and no brollies!
And search for Seat on google and you can guess what comes up

 

[googies]

Get one made for you or a motorsport show may be your only options, sweet talk a dealer?

Go to your local sealer and see if they have any

I will try,but my Seat dealer is working out of a Vauxhall dealer whilst the workshops being built! So i don't hold much hope
I'll manage with my free lambert and butler one,just thought a seat or Seatcupra.net one would have been a nice touch!

That is another point. Just get a coat!
