Gut it.
Rip out everything not made of metal.
I have a spare rear seat. A real nice one. Had it reupholstered to match the front buckets. But I never haul extra people anymore.
So I took my other spare rear seat and gutted it. Now I can haul lots of extra parts.
It still folds up and down. Still latches at the rear wheelwell in case you haul something you want to keep back there. Pretty easy to swap back and forth if need be. It's lighter this way, too.
