I use this product, although I found it **much** cheaper locally than the price that Amazon is charging for it: > **[Amazon.com: Drop Stop - The Original Patented Car Seat Gap Filler - Set of 2 (AS SEEN ON SHARK TANK): Automotive](https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Stop-Original-Patented-Filler/dp/B00BYH6C1E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428520901&sr=8-1&keywords=car+seat+gap)** > > Prevent Dangerous Distractions, keep your eyes on the road, and never search under your seats again!

It is ready-cut, with finished edges, and has openings in the right place for the seat belt anchorage to pass through. In addition to ending the problem of retrieving items from the very narrow space between the seats and the console, they silenced the occasional noises made by the leather upholstery rubbing on the console. ---

Oh I see what you are talking about. What kind of insulation? There’s about 150 different kinds from fiberglass to foam. I have a long forceps that I use when needed. The other day though I dropped my keys down there at the gas station. I was able to retrieve them from the back but was concerned for a minute. ---
