So I'm looking for a way to reinforce the cargo area panels toward the front, when the 3rd row seats are stowed away. I have read about issues where it breaks for some, when either heavy weight or knees come into contact with the end or corners of the panels. Reason being is that when the wife and I go camping, we just sleep in the back of the SUV since there is plenty of room, but I am afraid that one of us will accidentally break the panel.
I saw that there are replacement panels for the 3rd row seats where they are reinforced with 2 cross bars, but I believe I cannot get that replaced unless mine were already broken, which is what I am trying to avoid.
So, one option I was thinking of doing was placing a wood beam or a couple of wood blocks in between the panel and the floor so that there is added support. Any other ideas that would be good for reinforcing the panels? Thanks!
