Hints, Tips and Tricks
Maybe it's already on here but..... you know how our back up cam at night is washed out and sux really bad? It's not from the reverse lights, it's mainly from the LICENSE plate lights. I stole this from BITOG.....
Plasti-dip or paint about 2/3 of the light cover. I just stuck some painters tape over mine last night to try it out, man it makes a world of difference. Not exactly hi-def, but usable now.

BuiltRight Industries makes a solution for that tough to reach latch. I’ve also heard of folks using a boxed end wrench to release the latch.

I haven't tried to hard to be honest but I'll look into it soon lol....getting the VCT solenoids replaced is a more important concern right now.
My new to me 19 F150 already has a strap that sticks up but pulling on it does nothing and the back of the seat is right up against the rear wall sop I cant even get my hand down there to see what's up.

And I don't have to raise the bottom section to lower the back. But it does help if yours doesn't have the aftermarket strap so you can get your hand or something behind it to pull the tiny release.

There is a strap behind each seating position from the factory that has nothing to do with lowering the seat back. The one you add for that will be closer to the door.
