3 months of ownership and I notice this last night as I installed some Gibson leather phone holsters (which are AWESOME! btw)

I knew the rear seat backs locked and the glove box locked, but this, nope! ?

I know this is probably known by most, but figured there had to be others like me out there that didn’t. I’ll take the public humiliation to help others out.

the 'lock' is dogshit. lock your rear seats then pull on them. opens with just a tad more effort that unlocked.
Keeps the “situational/opportunistic” thieves at bay. Real thieves will get whatever they want, period.

So I'll admit too I didn't notice that lock for a year...

Saw another post on here about it, and checked on line manual thinking it must be on some higher model than mine. Was shocked to go to the garage and find that I had that all along. Happy little oops!

Gee, my sales guy showed me all of the stuff that locks, including console.
Sure, I browse the manuals of every vehicle I buy, but I kept finding things - yeah, dealer showed me, yeah, that to, he pointed that out, he set that up for me.............

Maybe some people need a new sales person!
Raar seats lock??
Behind the seats.
The underseat locking storage is I think an option - I'd have to look at the book LOL

Holy shit! I've had my Galdiator for 4 years and had no idea. Was just thinking, now that it's spring, how stupid it is that the center console doesn't lock. Turns out, I'm not very observant.
