Back seat latch: My solution

Here's what I did to access the space behind the back seat in my supercab.
I sewed a length of webbing to the existing short loop on the latch. I think it makes a very elegant solution.

Nice!. My '15 didn't have a short loop so I used the BuiltRight kit.

+1 !! I like that. Luckily, I have someone in the household who has some of that webbing and knows how to use it!

I used my drill press to put a hole in the stub then put a loop keyring through it. Attach whatever you like to the keyring and BAM! I'll try and get a pic tonight.

...went with Builtright as well. Lots of scraped knuckles and cursing to get that seat released initially only to find the factory strap not attached.

That's exactly how I did mine as well. Works great. One of the best MODS.

Here's a YouTube video with another method. You reach back there with a long box wrench and hook it over the side of the mechanism and pull up. This is good for the first time and then you should attach something to it like some of the other posts have mentioned....
