Turn it into a van................... but seriously you'll probably need to fit some form of brace to replace the stiffness lost by removing the rear seat!

I doubt the rear seats really add any rigidity? I would have thought that as they're only clipped upright in one place with no upper bracing/paneling it would make no difference in removing them.

my thoughts as they are not a solid back seat 50/50 split but stick a brace on any way
