Hi all, A few months ago I wrote to the list a question about how to secure a car seat in the rear most seat of an 87 Vanagon GL Syncro. I received several great responses but have run into a couple of rather large problems. First, I have replaced my computer as the older one died with a hard drive failure. Total loss of all data (including all saved e-mail). So now that I have the chance to work on the van I don't have your suggestions. Is there a way to look them up on the server? Second, I have been trying to find a generic tether mount for the rear floor but cannot get any manufacturer to sell me any do to their fear of liability. Is there a source that will sell just the mount without having to buy an entirely new car seat? Again, any help will be greatly appreciated. Oh and by the way, VOA has TSB's concerning the "LATCH" tether mounting system for every model they have manufactured since 1984 with the exception of the Vanagon. The Largest passenger vehicle that they made, specifically designed to move families with children. And it's the only one not able to be equipped, in some way, with a basic safety need. And they won't sell me a mount for another VW model, also due to their fear of liability. I mean for Pete's sake the Corrado has the ability to be retrofitted with a mounting point. What the hell were these people thinking??? All right, enough ranting,
Thanks again for any help, Oliver
