Default Rear seat backrest construction?

This probably sounds like a weird question. Does the back seat backrest have some type of metal frame on a fourth gen? I'm looking to drill something into the back of the back seat, I just don't know what the construction looks like inside. I can't seem to find any pictures on the internet. Ty

From 93-02 parts layout catalog, no info given.

A strong magnet should be able to indicate if it's steel.

Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping there was some kind of metal frame but found out it's only a piece of particle board. I am making something which will need to be affixed to the back of it so I wanted to put a screw in the backrest. I think I'll be okay because it doesn't weigh that much.

Having my friend make me a lexan wind deflector, they are only made for the coupe. I don't like the ones that look like a tennis net. It would have to be a affixed to the back seat, drilling into the rear deck is too risky for me.
