!Rear seats
 

So I took out my rear seats awhile ago, and there is a section of carpet that doesnt cover the bracket for the seat. I was wondering what some people have done to cover up the bracket. suggestions would be great too. I'll try to get pics of it up tomorrow.

If you want to be real OG, you put the back seat floor mats over it :lol:

I've been working on a rear-seat delete out of pressboard that hasn't gotten past the paper cut-out stage.

go to a junk yard and buy the hatch carpet out of a car and trim to fit. thats what i would do anyway

The carpet has a plastic kind of bonding/backing on it. If you warm it up a bit with a hair dryer you can stretch it a little to help cover the bumps. It doesn't stretch much, but it helps.

Oooooorrrrrrrrrrr............you can just cut the humps out of the car and save even more weight :drive:

6LE on tech makes a rear seat delete kit...

yeah for a million dollars. That guy makes some cool stuff, but his prices are a little out there

I got his C5 front brake kit for $500...

also, the overlays look good.

like for example, he wants $30 plus shipping for the center console gauge pod that I made myself for $2 and still have plenty of plastic left over to make more.

^yeah. as you know, i made my own too.

I like this idea. Wanna guinea pig this one too? :wink:

Heating the carpet up will not fix the 3" gap of carpet needed. And I dont want a seat delete kit, I took them out to reduce weight, not add something in their place.

Cutting the brackets out would look better, but then the seats could never go back in. Damn sacrifices.

Are the brackets spot welded in? If so, break out the spot weld cutter but be sure to scribe alignment marks if you ever need to put them back in.

There was a company that made rear seat delete boxes that made it look nice. They were on www.speedspecialty.com. I cant find them right now but if contact them they may still have them.

Reading.

Making the back of the car look like crap for !35lbs...

Eh, I like it without seats, I just need some thing to cover the gaps in carpet. I think I am going to the interior guy on Sat. and get a quote Kirk.

cut the brackets off, and buy a new carpet......dont cut holes in it

It doesnt look that bad. I actually think its more comfortable in the back without the seats (6'1). 35 lbs is a lot considering the other easy weight reductions.

Who is the interior guy?

The heating and stretching or the elimination of the mounting humps? Both have been done before ;)

Once the humps are gone the carpet lays nice and flat in the area, just the seams from where it was cut to fit over before show a bit.

Guy who did my headliner, good work, and a good price.

Check these out; I ordered a set to try out.

^let us know how they are! fit & finish... looks good in the pics.

They seem pretty cool. post a couple more pics and a review when you get them

Should be here next week. I will keep you posted.

yeah they are spot welded.

i'm sure any respectable interior business could do something very nice for you. i would even talk to paul. i'm sure he has a few good ideas.
