The Jam Rear Seat Mod The Jam Rear Seat Mod
(Just thought I’d share my idea and give you guys a simple write up)
- It’s a very useful mod, but requires some patience.
Items Needed: Tacky Spray, Material of Choice, Magnetic Catch Clips, Razor Blade, Wood and/or Sheet Metal.
1) Mark off your location of interest and sawzall it out, if you plan on using the original material, cut it so you can make a flap (discard the plastic bracing)
2) Take out a good portion of the foam out of those areas w/ a razor blade (it's important to keep some foam for back support)
3) Make your box (I made mine out of wood and used thin sheet metal for the bottom, so that it can handle some flex)
4) Wrap the box with material of choice (I used black vinyl and tacky spray to apply it)
5) Screw the boxes into place, I used drywall screws, and angle them to hit both the plastic boards and the box.
6) Step 6 is up to you, either wrap wooden boards w/ the material you chose and mount them w/ hinges or just use the carpeting originally from the back
of the seats and make a flap, using Velcro to hold it down. (I used magnetic catch clips for my setup)
** This is not necessarily the best write up for a professional looking setup by any means, I just did mine in the spare of the moment and if you're interested,
think it out and I'm sure you can make a real nice looking rear seat compartment. I do not promote the use of contraband

thankssss bro
That was an option but I wanted the benefit of two compartments. If you did your idea you could probably fit an entire 30 pack in there!!! lol

I think it's a damn good idea man. I wonder how big you could hollow the seat out while keeping it looking stock? Maybe a lot of little chambers... might need some reinforcement.

well you have to do it at least an inch away from the ends to keep the structural integrity of it strong. I would go with a lot of little chambers over one gigantic compartment for that reason alone. If you had some spare time to kill I would hook up some kind of refrigerator set up and hook it up to the battery with a kill switch in the glove compartment. I'm probably going to do that idea when I buy the WS6 in the summer time.

The Jam mod is great for convertibles because when the tops down all you need to do is reach in.
