A support device is provided for a seat assembly of a golf car. The support device has a base including an elongated shell bounding an interior space. The shell preferably has a first, enclosed end, a second, opposing end defining an elongated opening into the interior space and a sidewall extending between the ends. A support tube bounds an interior space and has a generally bended shape and two opposing ends, each tube end being integrally formed with the enclosed end of the base shell. Further, two mounting brackets are each integrally formed with the sidewall of the base shell and each includes a mounting plate. The mounting plate has a first, generally flat surface disposeable against the golf car seat and configured for attachment to the seat assembly to attach the support device to the golf car. Preferably, a plurality of reinforcing ribs extends between opposing interior surfaces of the base shell. Furthermore, another set of reinforcing ribs preferably extend vertically from a second, opposing surface of the mounting bracket plate such that the bracket has a substantial vertical thickness. Preferably, the support device is provided in both a left-hand configuration and a right-hand configuration, such that one device of each configuration is attached to a separate, opposing end of the seat assembly.
