Vanity - Something fell behind the back seat of my car.
Owl_Eagle, his daughter, and a Toyota Camry | July 8, 2009 | Owl_Eagle

Posted on 07/08/2009 12:50:07 PM PDT by End Times Sentinel

So, my daughter thinks she lost her favorite D.S. games in the back of the car. It either went behind the seat, or down that little hole where the seatbelts come out of.

Is there a way I can get it back short of shoving my hands down blindly in there?

“I was thinking the daughter represents the foolish American public who voted for Obama, while the favorite D.S. game lost under the seat of the car represents our constitutional republic.”

Maybe her daughter is the Republican establishment, and the game represents conservative principles? Shoving her hand into the seat and crossing her fingers was supporting McCain as our candidate?

Take it to the shop, else you risk being bitten by the 10 legged car spider, or worse, the spork weasle.

If I even thought there might be a spork weasle in my car, I'd have it towed away!

This link has the answer. There are clips at the FRONT of the back seat. You'll probably need to push the front of the rear seat back and lift upwards and the seat will pop up. You can pry at the front and find where the clips are. Hope that works. Ignore the asinine responses on here.

I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight now. You have to let us know if you got the game chip back or not.

Of all people who should know better than to post something like this ...

Follow the model my family used when my son’s hamster ate his way out of his metal cage (yes metal), and then crawled through the walls of the house downstairs outside the kitchen.

Start with a small hole, and then enlarge to the point where you no longer have a wall (seat in your case), just the framing.

Repeat until you find the specific location.

That could be.

Or perhaps the daughter is the American workforce, and the favorite D.S. game is the free enterprise system which has brought America prosperity and jobs, but which Obama has thrown under the car seat.

The question then becomes, can America retrieve its freedom and prosperity without Owl_Eagle losing a few fingers?

the process is to remove a seat (and collect spare change, the occasional mummified fry, and stale cheerios).

Oh - the memories. Some things stay gooey under there and get moldly too. Under the car seat retrieval operations can be quite an adventure.

If you think there is the possibility you have also lost a fine Cheddar or Roquefort, I may be available, if I may keep any finds.

There was a story going around Congress about Bawney Fwank, a young male intern and one of those plastic half spoon, half fork things you get in the cafeteria...anyway, he and the young man...well, you probly awready heard how it ends...but Gere’s hamster is NOT involved...

In some cars the back seat can be removed.

In all cars the back seat can be removed. In most, it can be removed or repositioned easily, sometimes this involves removing a couple of bolts.

Drive your car to bear country.

Place a cooler with bacon and other aromatics on the back seat.

Open the trunk

Come back in the morning

1. Pay a pile of money to a mechanic to remove the rear seat.

Pay money? When my daughter got her first car, we came home to the sight of both seats in the driveway...she was just cleaning the car. LOL
