Tracie · #1 (**permalink**) Jan 2nd, 2006, 01:17 PM

Not having very long arms, and not wanting to pay £20 quid for the proper ones, I have improvised and made some girly pull up straps for the rear seats.....they are a darker shade of green to match BRG (camera flash has made them look alot lighter

)..anyway they will do until I get but some leather ties

Total cost £3.97

To fit 5 mins

They work at treat..they may look wierd but I can pull my seats up with ease now

...no more fafing around in the back to push them up

....what site is that then Max

I agree Tracie, they are a tad difficult to pull back.....I only have little legs

Great idea

Excellent idea! I was just thinking today what a pain pulling the seats up is when I was taking my skis out of the back.

very pretty!!! Haven't tried moving my seats yet- what a good excuse for doing loads of shopping in the sales!

I knew the ladies would approve

What sort of arms have you got at the moment then Tracie

, I think £20 for new proper arms is quite reasonable really

and if you intertwind black and white rope you can have them in a chequered design.....

Tracie · #11 (**permalink**) Jan 4th, 2006, 06:48 AM

..I had already thought of that one!..but the shop didn't have black and white rope

there was me thinking "vibrating massage seats...." saw them on 'pimp my ride'(the one episode i watched and got irritated by westwood)

why don't you just push them up from the front......

Tracie · #13 (**permalink**) Jan 4th, 2006, 05:48 PM

...because you then have to pull the front seats forward to get to the back seats...what a palarver..this way is sooooo much easier

CrazyPhil · #14 (**permalink**) Jan 4th, 2006, 05:51 PM

..how about red white and blue rope...then you get Union Jack pullies
