Seat Map Pockets 200

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I might fix the map pockets on the back of the front seats. The elastic bands are completely stretched out so that the pockets do not rest agains the seat. It's annoying to people sitting in the back seat so I'd like to fix it somehow. Anyone have any suggestions. As usual, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your front seat has pockets on the back?

I bought elastic strips from a craft store. I then cut small slits across the channel that holds the old elastic inside the the map pocket, about 2 inches from each corner. Cut the old elastic, but leave enough of a stub to work with on each side. Now using small safety pins, pin the new elastic to one of the old stubs. Now pin the other end to the old piece and use it to pull the new through the channel. Now experiment with how tight to pull the new, and safety pin it to the other stub and cut off the extra. Then push everything back through the small slits and its as good as new with only the small slits on the inside of the pocket. I think I used a single edge razor blade to cut the slits.
