The first picture shows the plan of the center shelf. It's about 20 inches wide x 42 inches long, closely follows the rear shape.
Second picture shows shelf profile at one end.
Third picture is shape and position of end "winglet." About 24 inches front to back x 20 inches high. Bolt holes indicate how the wing center slopes slightly to the rear.
Fourth picture is inside face of a winglet. You can see the bracket that fits over the edge of the rear hatch.
