I've seen the professional ones that bolt to the seat glides but they cost $200-300. These kind are what the police use and they hold the laptop securely in place so it can't come loose. So to all of you who are thinking about doing it this way, I'd suggest you ponder the $150-250 dollars you'll save making it yourself, and think about what happens at 65mph if you are in an accident and the laptop becomes a projectile or you get impaled on the pvc. Is your life worth saving a few hundred bucks? Nice idea, but think about it. A very cool inexpensive solution. I’ve seen the professional ones that bolt to the seat glides but they cost $200-300.

He posted somehing earlier. I didn't even know he had posted here, but ran across it when googling his name. Thats a great innovation you've got there! I tried welding something that connected to one of the bolts that holds the seat to the floor. the problem was that it was very wobbly. I gave up thinking that I would need atleast three points of restraint for it to work. The shaking was unacceptable. Does your design wobble??
