Weight redux in my minivan today...

[NoDestiny]

Well, I got down to everything but the upper cab, from the front seats till the firewall...

Front end (front of fire wall) --7 lbs
Hatch --14.25 lbs
Insulation and deadener --37.75 lbs
Bench seat --78 lbs
TOTAL --137 lbs

Im guessing there is another 20lbs up front in there, but without removing the interior pertinently, I dont see much more reduction (outside of the kind you spend money on!)

Anybody have any other suggestions to look? Also, anybody ever see a plug for the rear wiper when removed?

What do you mean by "hatch -14.25 pounds"? That can't be the trunk lid / rear door.

I'd say to put Plexiglass in the trunk lid for a rear window, take out ALL the seats except the drivers seat, Find an aluminum wheel for your spare tire if you even carry one.

Just removed general stuff from the hatch lid. Speakers, foam, wiring, wiper + motor, and the panel itself (ill cover that area with a carpet covered wood/cardboard panel), etc.
