Electronics protection under rear seats

[GrennyLuke]

I have a child and one of my worst nightmare is if she spills liquid and it splashes into all the electronics under the rear bench. It's kind of bizarre there isn't any type of protection. Is this a worry for anyone?

No, I am not worried about your child spilling water.

On a serious note you could possibly scribe out a piece of foam and stick down some plastic sheet on the top of it to help disperse any fluids. Would need to keep an eye on ventilation perhaps.

Sippy cup only. When too big for sippy cup, drink fluids outside car.
Well that were our rules , and it worked grand

My friends owns a high end detail shop. We only allow water in the car. Nothing with sugar or milk especially.

Seat covers on everything.

Short trips, day to day this has been no issue. Longer trips, sippy cups and making sure things are in cupholders.

Our neighbors spent $2800 replacing a Yukon Denali seat when they spilled a tray of hot chocolate on it. No thanks.

Maybe encase everything under the seat in 25-30 gallons of jello to protect the electrics?

I did source a plastic cap to isolate the positive post on the Aux Battery (left side of LHD car), similar to that found on the starting battery.

I'm so glad mine is adult sized now!

There should be plenty of options in the seat protection aisle at your preferred auto store. This example is a seat protector for pets. Same benefits apply with young children.
Machine washable (remove children before washing).
