Has anyone purchased this rear seat delete kit?

If so, what are your thoughts about it? Is it a quality product? Does it hold up well?

According to the description, the entire kit only weighs 2 1/2 pounds which, if I'm not mistaken, is the lightest rear seat delete out there.

Funny that no one has interest in this. Did you find out more about the weight comparo OP?

I just started looking into this myself.

TIA

It's basically a towel - shaped to roughly conform to the shape of the body - to hide the naked steel. Obviously no fold-down option, and anything heavier than a sandwich or a ball cap will likely pull it away from the plastic pins that hold it in place.

Looks Good! Do you still have your template?

TJ @ Steeda was saying the manufacturer is coming out with a V.2 of that delete kit because there was a minor issue. It is very cool with the customizing options though...

When we built mine it was a lot of trial & error.kept cutting,sanding till we got the desired shape then covered it with rolled carpet.I probably didn't save on weight but I like the looks a whole lot better.

ME TOO! The $64K question is, are you able to re-create it (minus the trial & error part)? And - what's involved in folding it down? A catch of some sort? A bolt to be removed? Can you fold it down at the drop of a hat (or a seat) like the OE seat-back(s)?

Do you think the rear section could be split? I'm thinking that the upright panel doesn't need to be very thick/strong, and therefore could be split so as to retain the one-half-at-a-time folding function(?) But I don't know what it looks like behind there...and/or what mechanism you have deployed to secure it in the upright position.

But I know this:
With someone sitting in the front, that rear seat is completely ridiculous for "normal" use. Yeah - you can toss a bug-out bag back there, or a sweater, but certainly not a human. And anything that's rough...or dirty... or sharp? Nuh-uh. So it may as well come out and be replaced with a platform that can actually be used for real-world stuff. And if that also lightens the car a little? BONUS!
