Like I said, mine are anchored where the rear seat buckles were.  Funny
story putting them in--I was reaching in from the trunk, unbolted the rear
buckles, and I was trying to pull the buckles thru from behind the seat from
their straps.  Well, they're pretty fat, so it took a lot of force.  I
yanked, and yanked, and yanked, and finally, they came thru nice and fast
right in the middle of a huge tug and I punched myself in the face w/ 2
fists together and mashed my nose, and layed out on the driveway.  Out cold
for a second.  Layed there for what seemed to be an eternity....

love those harnesses....
