I need to find the rear restraint anchor points
on my 02 TT. The manual says "Page 37" they are on the rear parcel shelf. As the 02 model has the Bose bass box, it is different from what the manual says.
I have called two dealers and both of them cannot tell me where these anchor points are...which is stupid if you ask me. Even PET does not show it.
I tried prying back one of the carpet pieces on the rear shelf, the one closer to the front of the car and snapped one as it is solid plastic with carpet on it so it is not meant to be bent in anyway..so I found out....Grrrrrr!
I cannot pry open the rear cutout as it seems to still be attached in a few places.
You may be wondering why I am looking for this, well in Canada I need to have the car inspected for both Federal and Provincial approval and it states " This vehicle requires an infant restraint kit"
Does anybody know where this is....my inpection is on Monday.
Cheers,
Ben

Dock,
On pretty much every car I have owned even on my BMW 540 there are anchor points on the rear parcel shelf that allow you to put a bolt and circular ring thingy that allows you to tether an child seat to it.......I am looking for the mounting point for this on the rear parcel shelf...see page 37 of your manual and you will see what I am talking about.

I have a "cut out" in the carpet directly behind each rear seatback, and behind the Bose speaker enclosure box. Have you pulled these up to see what's under them?

Yes, pulled the one up closet to the back seat and it snapped...broke the plastic and there was nothing behind it on the sheetmetal bulkhead...the other ones does not budge unless I break that one too.

Thank you Stephen, I just need to know that they are there, just for the inspection, I do not want to break anymore rear deck flaps just like the first one I did investigating for the anchors. I am sure that will satisfy the inspector.
Thanks again,
Ben
