It is what I would deem a design flaw. To look at these and see a ledge with, what looks to be a fold down cushioned seat, covering the toilet, screams out "please have a seat!" Why they would put something that appears utilitarian in that position of failure is very strange. I'm not sure I can reach the back end of that curve fully from the back but I'll have a look when we get it home. I like the idea of fiberglass. I'm also considering a new piece of something cut to the height and riveting it into the ABS from the front and installing some supports so someone could actually sit without damaging it. We're going to be reworking the priginal carpeting and pulling the toilet anyway so at least I'll be able to get to it.
