Re: Front to rear hatch divider(behind the seat)
That's what I meant, your picture shows the bar very nicely removed (can see the shart/shiny edges on the passenger side and shows where the original bar was.
The picture below shows the edge of the removed box section looking back from the driver's window (and what I removed).
As you can see, the beam stops well short of the side of the car and adds little to any torsional stiffness.
