I've used a DUHA underseat storage bin in my Silverado for years. It is perfect for organizing my rarely needed tools and straps, BUT it's a huge pain to access because I have car seats. Nothing worse than having to take 3 car seats out of the back seat just to get that one strap or blanket. I'm trying to come up with something that might somehow be accessible without lifting the rear seats. I'm picturing some sort of hinged front piece carpeted to match the floor? Fold it down and pull out my bag of straps or my emergency blankets (which get used ALL the time at soccer games). Has anyone ever made their own underseat storage? I'm not even sure calling it storage is right, just sort of a divider to hide what's under there.
The attached photo is something I saw one time online and I believe it's a factory option for certain models. I'm thinking of making something like this, but the front is hinged to allow it to fold open and save me from having to lift the seats. They call that underseat storage, but it's just a piece that hides what's under the seat and keeps it from spilling out.
Thoughts, Ideas?
Edit- I'm seeing some posts on another site that this factory style thing might actually fold down to open from the front? Anyone have one of these that they can send a photo? I really just need to be able to get to it without taking out the car seats.
