You don't even need to sit in the seat, the brake pedal can be depressed with your hand while kneeling and looking under the car at the bottle......Rich
I found it quite awkward to try and view the bottle when doing the rear right (at night outside) and simultaneously pumping the pedal. Do-able; just awkward. Hands on the ground, one foot on the brake pedal, one for balance and with my body half in and out of the car, lol.
