Rear Seat Delete Part 2: Rear Shelf

The next phase of my rear seat delete has been to build a shelf in place of the bare metal floor

Plywood shelf
Designed as a step down from the trunk level, the plywood platform was bolted into place using the existing screws from the back seat brackets.

Underneath the plywood, we packed the empty space with fiberglass insulation.  This has dramatically reduced the drone from the exhaust, while also masking road noise from the rear wheels.

The finished product was carpeted and currently sits in place awaiting my next modification to the rear cargo area.
