Hey 1addicts. In thinking about weight reduction but not wanting to lose functionality of the 1er, I've started brainstorming on the possibility of a rear parcel shelf. No one ever sits in the back seat.
Would be similar to Cakeaters seat delete panel for those that remember that, but need to figure out how to make one that is load bearing and could receive and keep the functional car seat ISOFIX mounts.

Rule is 55lbs for seat delete, so even if I could end up 20-30 lbs down with the custom shelf installed, it would be worth it.
Plywood comes to mind since that's what was used in the DIY, but thin and light is not weight bearing and thick is heavy, so considering other materials. Obviously carpet covered, dynamat, and thinly padded at the end.
If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them!
