opening, and are accessed from behind the rear seat.
The upper tether anchors for the rear seat are avail-
able for individual service replacement. The four
fixed lower anchors are integral to the rear seat back
frame and are accessed from the front of the rear
seat, where the seat back meets the seat cushion.
The two inboard lower anchors are constructed from
round steel bar stock that is formed into a U-shape,
then securely welded at each end to the rear seat
back frame. The two outboard lower anchors are
machined steel pins that are secured between the
two seat back hinge plates above the pivot pin on
each outboard side of the rear seat back frame. These
lower anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, they must be replaced as a unit
with the rear seat back frame.
