I created another accessory for my Gravity.
This one is to cover the open space behind the second row of a three row configuration.
It may be temporary depending on what Lucid provides.
My intent was to provide a covering that creates a flat space for loading beach gear and possibly a couple of bikes.
I may purchase the mattress that
@Keith posted and see how well the panel holds up.
The cover I created will not have direct contact with any items loaded.
I have a tarp that will go on top of the cover with cutouts in the tarp for bungi cords to attach to the floor anchors and secure items as needed.
The cover was made from a 1/8", 2'x4' panel purchased at
Home Depot.
I needed the 1/8" thickness in order to allow the panel to be stored in the rear stowaway area.
I had the panel cut to the dimensions of 41" wide by 20" long.
Velcro strips are attached to the bottom to minimize possible movement (doubtful) during any loading.
I want side access to the space beneath the panel, so that items can be added after installation.
Before panel installation, my beach chairs fit nicely in the covered space.
I spray painted the panel gray to somewhat match the interior.
Not really necessary since a tarp will cover the panel.
This may not work for anyone, but it works for me, for now.

View from inside (reaching in through passenger door). Not the best angle.

Panel turned sideways if a passenger is in one of the third row seats.
During actual use, the passenger side second row seat would be upright to allow the third row passenger ingress/egress and seating for a second row passenger, if needed.

The panel stores nicely under the rear stowaway area.

The velcro strips allow the panel to be lifted when the stowaway cover is lifted.

The one challenge I had was the right side passenger seat doesn't recess completely down into the stowaway area like the left side seat does. This caused the stowaway cover to be pushed up, even though during actual use it's likely there would be items on top of that cover to push it down. However, I still didn't want that cover pushed up when empty.

Velcro strips solved the problem. Excuse the crudeness of the velcro installation. I used small pieces of strip until I knew how much was needed to secure the cover without over doing it. One solid strip will be installed on each side tomorrow.

Bottom of panel, with velcro strips. Strips are not at each corner because when turned sideways, the left side would scratch the plastic on the back of the second row seat, so the strips are moved in to avoid contact with that plastic area.
