Passenger Backrest - Anyone modified one?

[wcntech]

Hello!

I know that there is an aftermarket Ultimate passenger backrest, but I wonder how hard it would be to reshape the stock backrest? Has anyone done it? My passenger would like a flatter backrest instead of the sides contouring out. This is on a 2020 RT Limited.

Thanks!

I acually moved mine up about a half inch so it just catches the hooks and just drilled new holes. Wife likes it much better and just get auto weatherstriping to fill the gap. Hope this helps. haven't changed my pic yet

I had mine reshaped at an auto upholstery shop to provide more of a lumbar support. They charged about $60.

I do not have a picture but I built a bracket to modify the mount the backrest pad attaches to, I have a aftermarket backrest and the position was not correct for me so I took a piece of flatbar and bent it to position the pad just where I like it, lots of work taking it off, bending, putting it on, taking off and rebending, many times until I had it where I wanted it

Ended up taking to an upholstery shop. He had to cut the plastic curve off each edge, but it turned out awesome. He was able to re-use the original cover and it looks factory.
