Again as seen as you missed it.. you can open up a cushion to have enough space..
but please tell me how to keep other drivers from pulling into that slot..
please I've looked for a way to control other drivers to no avail..
So what is the secret ..
thanks..

comparing a semi with drums and a light vehicle is well, um, apples and oranges..
load weight to counter act the self energizing drum set up.. THAT is why they work ok in a semi.. when loaded.. and do nothing but lock when hooked to nada..
