Quick, Easy, and Functional Mod for SCrew seat backs
Like several on here, I have struggled with getting the seat backs in my 2009 SCrew down to place items behind the seat. I usually need to grab a wrench to place over the head of the release lever and it takes a few tries to get everything positioned just right 
Well I think I have come up with a quick, easy, and functional mod for this issue.
Step 1
This step requires lowering the seatback by pulling up on the release button in order to get the seat into position to start the mod. I know it's a pain, but doing so will help you appreciate this mod even more.
Step 2
Take a wire tie strap and fasten the end together forming a circle, then place it over the head of the release button on your seat as shown below.
Step 3
Take a smaller wire tie strap and form a second circle with it then place over the first tie strap as shown below.
Step 4
Trim the ends of the tie straps and rotate the larger one so that the square portion of the tie strap holds the smaller tie strap into position and keeps the larger one from coming off of the release button. You now have a loop which will make it much easier to release the seat back when you want to let them down.:banana:
This should make it so much easier to gain access to the area behind the rear seat. Enjoy!

Good design! The only thing I would change is to go with the black tie wraps. They are UV resistant and will not get brittle like the white ones do. Also, they won't be seen by whoever tries to look behind your seats.

Bravo. mine doesn't have the off-step on the **** that prevents the plastic tie from slipping off. I will have to drill a hole or something, but great thinking on those who do have a lip on the ****.

Works...I used black fishing line to wrap around the latch and looped around the headrest out of the way. Plenty strong and my hand doesn't even go behind the seat.
My question is why are you guys getting behind the seat regularly? Not too much room! In my case I installed a bunch of emergency warning equipment and radios at the bottom.
Since then I've never popped it again.

In my case it is to install my amp and other audio equipment. There is also room to store a few towels, chamois, and other cleaning supplies and hold them in place.
