Default Folding rear seat on 2DR

Is there a way to fixate the rear seat in a 2dr when its folded so it wouldn't tumble up and down?

no but you could always tie that black strap to something or just take the seat out which is fun

bungie cord from the latch to the roll bar works like a charm

I just bought and installed one of these seat retainers, cheap easy mod and it works great.

I agree with JackMac4, just take the seat out and you don't have to worry about it. You have to be a darn contortionist to get in and out of the back on a 2-door anyway.

I removed mine as it's a pain to get into the back on a 2dr since the seats don't move far enough forward.. My dog's can't even get into the back through the tiny opening when the front seats are flipped up..

Gives you a bunch of extra room anyway

I live in an apt, so have no room to store the seat... Finding space to store hard top was hard enough for me (thought about storing it at home but it didnt fit into the elevator )

That die tech seat retainer looks like a good solution, i'll probably get one of those or try to use a long strip of velcro to tie it somewhere.
