@llawd I like the CONCEPT/PROTOTYPE (for other forum members who missed that in the OP).

What would be even better is if it is thin enough to stay in place when the back seat is up, but given the way the back seats release from the trunk that might be difficult.

I would love to be able to do this when carrying Luna (our Newfoundland) around in my car. She curls up great on top of the seat when its down but "slides" into the trunk so she has to ride more uncomfortably with the seat up.

I may have to break out the cardboard and figure this out myself.

How about a semi-permanent divider using some sort of fabric and velcro?

A hard wall however, would prevent the junk-in-yo-trunk missile hazards in a hard braking event or, God forbid, a frontal collision.

I'll be selling custom seat deletes starting at $9.95+ sh+ your first born (don't ask, it's for my side business) for the first 5 orders.
If you don't get in on the group buy, msrp is going to be 7 easy payments of $29.95.

Mods: don't worry, I'll contact about becoming a vendor before I sell any.

Will the cardboard seat delete be shipped in a carboard box? If so thats like getting a free seat delete kit with your seat delete kit... Bonus.

@Dadhawk
I think you could fit a 'permanent' removable wall with the seats still in place, as behind the seats is just styrofoam and the trunk mat. With a bit of trimming, could have a piece coming out from 'under' the seat, and mounts to the same U bolt that the seats connect to. The issue there would be how to remove it easily when you need the seats down for cargo purposes.

You might be able to 'slot' it on the bottom, and use velcro as @Ultramaroon suggested on top. That way it would support something hitting it (a la Luna) and still easily removable. Pretty sure there's a lip on the styrofoam to support that. I don't recall offhand if the trunk mat and styrofoam end at the same point however. Might still require trimming of the trunk mat just get the divider to fit. I haven't had back seats installed in some time, so I don't recall how much space there is between the seat and the trunk area.

I have a bunch of photos sans back seat, but I don't seem to have one in that particular area. I will be taking out my rear seat delete to modify a couple things on it, so I'll try to snap a couple photos then so you can see how that area looks.

My puppy is a 120lb projectile when she slides so it would have to be fairly substantial. Might have to finally do some CF layup I've been threatening to learn....

Looks like a little more CAD (cardboard aided design) would be needed before a final prototype!

[Tgionet]

CF layup is easy, just time consuming and expensive on the equipment side. You could probably get away without even making a mold for the upper, just laminate a core with some room temp wet-preg and pull vacuum over it.

Hey hope this helps without all the BS everybody has to add in. Quick link will give you a cheap rear seat delete kit ( http://rearseatdelete.com/FRS-BRZ.html ) , I tried pricing materials and by the time you make it look pretty and right you will spend more trust me or close to it, so save yourself they gray hair and wait for a package.

[8R6]

you guys with dogs should really strap them down with a harness. if any sudden movements...then.... poor doggies
