I don't think I've ever seen one (official tether mount). I usually use the anchor bolts provided by the manufacturer of the carseat. I have retrofit both our GL and Westy 1985 with shoulder belt(s). Here is a link to the part numbers and directions, but your dealer should have directions as well. http://volksweb.relitech.com/helmut/RearSeatBelt/RSFB_001.HTM http://volksweb.relitech.com/helmut/RearSeatBelt/RSFB_002.HTM I'm sure you could pay your dealer to retrofit, but it is simple (and I'm the female in the family - loud gasps surround the vanagon list - they've been INFILTRATED!!) :) To further shame you into retrofitting - I did it 9mo pregnant with baby #4. :) jhlauterbach wrote: > Thank you to all those who answered my previous question.
