aperture size when rear seats folded down

[stanley 555]

Hi All,
Can any of you kind people help with a query please?
Hopefully collecting my RCZ this coming weekend and combining it will collecting a large item on my way home.
Can anybody tell me the aperture space when the rear seat backrest is folded down?
height and width?
many thanks in advance.
John

90 x 53 cms.
WRONG, it is 90 x 33 cms.

Many thanks, very much appreciated!
would you also know the maximum depth (length) with the rear seats folded down?

Good job you asked, as I got the height wrong.
It is 33 cms (NOT 53).
Width is 90 cms as I said.
Depth is a tricky one as the folded backrest is not perfectly flat on the rear seats and the boot "lip" is 22 cms above boot floor.
Overall length/depth is 150 cms.
Even then the width of a long item might foul the curve of the edges of the lip, as the flat centre section of the lip is only 80cms.
So, a long box of 150x90x33 will only fit in theory; a bit of trigonometry needed, and my old brain is past that; sorry!
Hope that helps and sorry I got the height wrong [ I blame the rush on the fact it is raining and arse end of LGN is nearly outside, but I was!].

Hows about you give me the dimensions of the item, and I'll brave the elements again and give you an OK/NO WAY/TIGHT conclusion with my trusty measure and dodgy eye?

Knocked this drawing up; hope it is self-explanatory. :eusa-think:
E&OE, as they say! :eusa-whistle:

I've gone metric, reluctantly, so don't recognise your analogy! :roll:

You guys are fantastic, thank you ever so much for taking the effort and time, very much appreciated! :beer:

But Stuart hasn't showed you his working scale model constructed from papier mache and sticky back plastic yet! :lol:

It got soggy in the rain and blew away in the wind.
