I've had a new-to-me Yukon for a few weeks now and one thing I notice is that nothing wants to stay on the front seat. Whether it be paperwork, takeout, a jacket or whatever - the slightest bit of braking and everything slides right off and on to the floor.

Now of course, the easy option is to just put in on the floor from the start. But when I'm on a long solo road trip I like to have some snacks there next to me or to just throw some mail there or whatever. Maybe I just need to adjust how I use it, but has anyone else been annoyed by this or does anyone have a solution?

Ha. Yeah this happens to me also, i had to get something out of my lunch box and left it open just to have it slide and spill onto the floor...

i havent found a way to prevent it except for trying to grab it before it falls but then it also takes more attention away from the road so not the best plan. I guess you can find a container and buckle it in.

That's a good idea!

Lean the seat back a little and raise the front of the base... and stop taking turns so hard or slamming on the brakes. :)

Haha I really don't drive it that hard! I blame the detailers who cleaned the seat so well when I bought it! lol But yeah, I will try adjusting the seat and see if that helps.

I remember how I learned not to Armor-All a vinyl bench seat... Took a turn and slid to the other side of the truck.... glad I didn't crash!
On the other side of that coin, it sure came in handy when I Armor-All'd the passenger half of the bench seat and had a gal in the vehicle. Take a hard right turn and whoop-there she is!

So that's how you tricked the Missus into marrying you! LOL

I do what Pete mentioned, crank the front up so things slide back against the seatback. For beef jerky and such, I just lay them up against the back of the console either with the cup holders up or down and reach back as necessary.

you must drive like me, lol mail I just tuck in the seat crack between the bottom pad and the back. otherwise I have to buckle stuff in but some kind of non-skid material laying on the seat would work for most things
