Abstract: A brace is secured to a console between a pair of front vehicular bucket seats. The brace extends downwardly and is captivated to the seat rails of the seats adjacent the console. In a preferred embodiment, the brace is trapped under the seat rails. In another embodiment, the brace is captivated by the nut-washer arrangement holding the seat rail to the vehicle floor. In one embodiment, the brace is of one piece construction and easily made by simply bending a length of aluminum strap. In another embodiment, the brace is of two piece construction.
