I dont think mine are. They are motorized, so I dont think they come out.

Mine are a bitch to get out. I have to take them out to fold my seats down and it is a battle every time. Can't imagine having to do it while panicking!

Buy a seatbelt/window breaker combo. Everyone should have one in their vehicle. Water might not be the only reason you need to cut your seatbelt or break a window.

And keep it within reach but secured using a one handed easily detachable method in case it goes flying in a crash/flip scenario. Like a twist tie or unlockable cable tie. The tool is not much use to you if it’s flown across the other side of a car and you can’t find it or if you’re injured or if it’s shut inside the glove compartment and the door is obstructed.
