Harness Bar Installation Question HELP?
Which way do I install my harness bar above the back seat, with the tbs forward or backward. (Does the bar go infort of the bolts or behind the bolts) Also, what's the best way to get the seatbelt receiver out between the seat and the tunnel? Do I have to remove the seat? Thanks

I've seen it installed both ways and it worked either way.. BUT the catalog pic I saw showed it above the rear seat backs. This way leaves the rear seats "usable" and requires a bit longer shoulder strap. In this config, the belts should anchor somewhere in the back hatch area. The forward position is probably a more secure mount as it won't rotate if loaded. Remember the belts should go over the bar, not anchor to it. Many folks don't like just harnesses with no roll bar, but that is a another thread entirely.. If you anchor to the rear seat belt anchors, I believe the forward position is the only way it has a clear shot to the anchor points.
Yes, remove the seats.. it is not that hard and you will be surprised how heavy those power units are.

Which brand of harness bar do you have? Stable Energies? BK? Other?
If it is the Stable Energies bar, than I have the same bar as you do: if the tabs are what I'm thinking they are, then mine are facing towards the front: ie: the bar itself is slightly closer to the front of the car than where the mounting bolts are.
