Hi to every one

Guys this is a serious issue for me, I will be most grateful if I can get some opinion-advise-suggestions,

Ok!! Here’s my question,
Has this fiat doblo got a kind of cushion-protector for this area? (Please see below picture)
I have been everywhere many of known shops, any small corner shops and finally to main dealer
Simple every possible place I can think of but answer is No! No! No!
Even main dealer says, it does not exist,

So could any one tell me if it does?

The reason:

Right!! I have been a cab driver for about 5 year, last 4 years I have been driving fiat doblo high roof to get wheelchair passenger on,
Recently council called all wheelchair access vehicles and checked on them to see “fit to propose”
Some guy who I do not know and never seen before, while council licensing officer present, he looked at the car and said

1-no stickers (pull to open, seat belt sign on to windows. etc)
2-change fire extinguisher and first aid box (fire ext. has got 4 years to expire, first ait kit has got 3 years to expire)
3-this cushion thing (which does not exist or I do not know one)

I have been suspended for above reasons, they took my plate away till I get complete all of them above, when I said this cushion thing does not exist, they gave me an address that they charge £160, which is custom built, I mean, he makes it up from nothing,

We are only 2 drivers who drive fiat doblo, there is no one else any more, and the other driver has rushed and got one paid £160,

hi,the item you are looking for is called an kneebox ,its an esential bit of kit for doing wheelchair jobs ,when the cutomer is sitting in their wheechair their knees are directly lined up with the two prongs,one sudden braking moment and their knees would be pulverised,you can get one from cab direct,i got one 3 years ago and it cost me £60 unfortunatly
 
I know this is no consolation but might be important when you come to replace your Taxi as Fiat seem to have thought of this on the latest 2011 Doblo. Now all that nasty knee bashing metalwork folds tidily into the base of the seat as you fold it forward and it completely disappears leaving a nice flat carpeted surface. (y):cool:
