I know that, but now i recruiting NPCs (never really done it before, they was too stupid and they killed me faster than the monsters) and it is a slightly inconvenience i have to push them away every time i want to turn on/off the dome lights because i don’t want to make noise with the car’s engine. I would like to do it from the driver seat.
I found that meanwhile, but thank you anyway! 
I smash them, but it is a “static” room, so that crate is always in the way. It is really silly, we have to smash it every time.
It would be good, i have a - not “best friends forever” yet - NPC with good mechanic and we just standing out of nowhere because i can’t fix our car and he just chilling there.
