Under-seat vehicle compartment having a clamp assembly for engaging a tube support and for absorbing tolerances and movement related noise

A storage container for a vehicular seat comprising:

• a cushion pan for supporting a seat cushion;
• a lateral support bar extending between opposing side members and positioned below the cushion pan;
• a container housing disposed between the opposing side members and having a forward portion fixedly attached to an underside of the cushion pan;
• and
• a rear clamp of the container housing that defines a containment region, wherein the lateral support bar is disposed within the containment region and the rear clamp defines a surface engagement with an outer surface of the lateral support bar, and wherein the rear clamp is slidably engaged with the lateral support bar, and wherein generally vertical displacement of the container housing relative to the lateral support bar biases the lateral support bar against the rear clamp to define an absorbing state of the rear clamp, wherein the rear clamp in the absorbing state receives at least a portion of the generally vertical displacement of the container housing relative to the lateral support bar.
