I would love to find one. Sorry to jack this thread. I have rust repaired the lower edge of mine twice already.

2nd row seats have aluminum frames so they cannot short out in an accident as the battery and emergency disconnect is underneath them.

I wonder the same thing. We use aluminum wire to run high voltage temp power feeds as its cheaper than copper.

Will the rear hatch fit right up to a regular non hybrid truck?

yeah it will but you need to change out a few other items i suggest going to a salvage yard and pick up all the rear end parts inc the bumper cover, tail lamps and d-pliers..

it has a slightly differ spoiler it might not fit the other d-piler

Aluminum is non-ferrous and doesn’t heat up when abrasion is applied. Obviously sitting on a steel seat frame or folding in down a standard steel seat can get the steel to spark.

If a hybrid battery is malfunctioning and it’s off gassing, aluminum seat frames are good. Won’t help if you turn a seat heater on that operates off electrical resistance to heat up LOL.
