Rear Seat removal questions
2011 Yaris hatchback
I have already removed my rear seat previously to hold extra cargo. (without the rear seat, the Yaris holds an absurd amount of cargo) During the drive, I realized how much noisier it was at highway speeds, apparently the rear seat dampens outside noise quite a bit. I would like to remove the rear seat long term and install some sort of insulation or covering to dampen the sound to pre-removal levels AND some sort of cargo management system, possibly nets or barriers. Is there some sort of kit or available mod to assist this? Thanks Edit: Whoever has the best solution can have the 60/40 rear seats!

just dont buy name brand dynamat, any good rubbery foil back is ideal,
as for me i did a full on shelf replacement for the back seat out of a sheet of aluminum and sandwiched it to a steel frame with jute ..noise levels in the car are identical with a seat vs with the shelf HOWEVER i am a firm beliver the noise levels in the hatchbacks could be desperatly improved if one was to cover every square inch of floor from just before the carpet ends all the way to the hatch with a foil backed deadner..as most of the interior noise comes from the spare tire area as far as a kit...NOPE |

I just within last two weeks finished sound dampening my 07 hatchback. I removed full interior, headliner included, and did a layer of butyl tar and then some ccf on top. It made a huge difference, its more muted inside, doors close nicer, all panels feel nicer (no more ting noise). I did spare tire area and rear hatch, shock towers real well. There is almost no dampening of any kind from the factory, so almost anything will help. I still have rear seat back out, its getting recovered at upholstry shop, and sound is 1000% nicer inside.

What some have done in the past,is to pull the cushion off that bench seat, revealing just the frame. Then you have a frame that you can bolt onto the Yaris, allowing for a foundation on where to start. Others have then used plywood or similar to lay down flat back there, and built up from there. |

it should also be noted that both the 2dr and the 5dr use the same frame and seat, or atleast the 07s do, as ive got one from a 2dr 07 and the OE one from our 5dr your "rear" connection point should be the upright half of the seats rear bolt bonus of getting a spare seat frame is you can swap from platform to seat in under 5 mins should you need the seating back..it should also be noted that the 3+ inches of height of the flat bench rear swapped for a flat surface actualy nets you something like 3-4 cubic feet of cargo space |

Looks like generic dynamat might be my path.
Was hoping for a kit for ease of install. |

side note WASH the surfaces and let them dry before you put anything on them..youll end up with a better job that doesnt "let go" |
