I had read these kind of comments from other trauma center doctors. They get to see the "after" results.

While installing a laptop mount in one of our GM fleet vehicles, we had to remove the seat. To get to the rear bolts we had to unhook the trim cover. I went to grab the seat to pull it forward and out. I came out with a very deep cut in my finger. There was a razor sharp edge on one of the seat bracket plates. Had I pulled harder, it would cut to the bone. Can only imagine what someone looking for a quarter under the seat or hanging on a wild ride would experience. This razor edge is normally covered by fabric that any roudy kid can pull off.
