Hi Ron,

I have a Y-harness installed for my (school-age) kids that converts the standard rear lap belt into a 4-point system. I also required very solid rear (tether) anchor points, so I welded them to the rear deck just forward of where the rear hatch closes, but to the rear of the engine lid.

Pictures to illustrate here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ttcopley/709357312/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ttcopley/709367188/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ttcopley/709429460/

Hope this is of some help to you.

T.
