It's not that climbing the seats is not impossible, it's just stupid to design a system this way.

Here's my situation, I cannot open the rear doors from the inside because I have child locks set to "on". I also have two car seats back there currently installed. On top of this I have tools in the rear cargo area that are bulky and heavy.

So, here is what I have to go through in order to get the damn battery replaced.

Open the drivers door, climb between the drivers and passengers seats and unbuckle the car seats. Remove them and take them out of the car. Then, climb back in and drag the tools all the way from the back to the front. Finally, climb all the way in the back and open the lift gate.

I assure you, this is not a small task but I really appreciate the "what's the big deal responses". Very helpfull (may I suggest a gov't job designing something?).

Oh, the reason the car has been sitting for four weeks is because I have been away on buisness and just came back.

Thanks..
