Hi Mike,
That by itself is a great idea, however, as you know the Insight some *other* stuff in the trunk to consider.
There will certainly come the day when I have to do more maintenance on the high voltage battery that also sits in the trunk. It weighs 70lbs with no electronics, and I have to figure out a way to safely get this *item* out of the trunk with the boat tail in-the-way.
Or, provide a *hinge* that allows it to swing to the side and allow full access to the trunk.
This is the *contemplation* part that Metro was talking about!!
I have a feeling that others would be trying to work out a similar method for their boat tails as well.
Jim.
