You don't have to move the tucked in belt when folding down the seat since it fits in between the gap. It doesn't constrain the seat from folding down.

You do have to tuck it back in though once you put the seat back up.

Has anyone in hot climates, where you need your AC often, try to make a small hose from the AC vents to output in front of the IMA bat intake?

This would cool the bat right away and allow heavy IMA useage in hot places?

The cabin air is moved around the sticks. I had bought a piece of pool hose to use the rear drivers side foot well vent as I liked the hvac to foot and vents.

Since I use the auto feature to keep from killing my fuel economy, it doesnt direct ait down there and would be worthless.

Some of the first gen guys have added computer pc fans for extra air flow.

illustration on manual P.299 shows seat belt is covering 50% of intake area so it should be fine i guess...
