Not to be an a-hole or anything, but I wouldn't ride in your car with the electric shut off in that location. I don't care how much padding you put on it, if you get in an accident it's going to f-up your passenger. How hard would it be to move?
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe behind the parking brake where you are still able to get to.
