Rear Seat Delete and Waterproofing

[Belrix]

Hello!

I am new to BMW ownership and apologize for the number of questions I'll be posting!

I am looking at doing a rear seat delete on my R1250GS, but I am concerned about losing the waterproofing the rear seat provides. I see that Touratech makes a rear seat rack that has a plastic plate to cover the void, but OUCH! the cost!

Am I overly worrying about the waterproofing or are the more affordable options that I am not finding?

Thanks

Brian

Initially I folded up a binbag into the void, now in the process of making a plate and using 3m Velcro to keep it in place

I have had a very expensive Wunderlich plate and now use this Rear Seat Luggage Rack from AliExpress

Never been caught in a down pour but I didn't consider its Ingress Protection (IP) rating before purchase.
