    Don't put a phone here....



    It's an obvious place to put a phone for those in the 3rd row. But as my daughter found out, the cup holder is shallow so easily falls out. And then there's a gap it will fall down (see pic). As it's carpet under there, it will slide deep under the seats. That gap is wide enough for a phone / change etc. But too narrow to get your hand down there.

    Unlike the D3 folding seats, you don't get access to underneath. So spent 2 hours rescuing it yesterday.

    That involved dangling my securely attached phone with the video on to see if we could see where it was. Luckily it was in a yellow case so could work out where it was. But no obvious way of removing the panel under the seats. Was lucky that managed to get it out without a trip to the dealers...

    Got the same issue with my Jag F type, it's very easy to drop pens, phones, coins etc between the driver or passenger seat, and the centre console. It's impossible to get to the under seat area to retrieve them. I use a long piece of dowel, with some very sticky tape on the end to grab them from the footwell.

    No easy answer I'm afraid, other than don't drop in the first place!

    There are different variations of these online (Amazon, etc.): DropStop

    Not sure if they would suit the 3rd row, though?

    Might invest in some of these James as I can see a lot of stuff going down there.

    The kids were only just asking me for ideas for Father's day....

    I learned this the hard way at the dealership. I tried out the third row and didn't realize that my phone fell out of my pocket back there. I had to use "find my iPhone" to locate it, as you can't even see anything under there.
