I would have rather found the rear anchors!
There are no latch attachements for the belt afaik. There ARE head/top of of the seat tether attachment points to use.

Look directly behind where you would think each rear passenger's head would be....in the carpet, I think where this is a right angle/edge there are two areas that have the beginnings of the look of a cover. I had to cut these out a bit...not the whole carpet mind you, just enough to get 3 of 4 sides of the rectangle free.

I used this for about a year. When done, I carefully played with the carpet for about 30 seconds and now you cannot tell I did anything...it looks like stock. I used only one side. I cannot tell them apart visually.

I found this out via a search on rennlist.com in the 996 section...fwiw.


Good luck.

My car is a 2002.

Infant baby seats?

Anybody put in a baby seat with a "base" into a 911? I've got an 18month, and another one on the way, but I desperately want to pull the trigger and buy a 911. I know I can get the 18 month old in no problem, i'm just worried about the newborn...anybody?

You are hardcore, if you want an 911 with two babies.

Well you can!
But first you have to buy the backseat and seatbelts from a turbo owner converting to GT2 look
Then spend a few hours in the garage....and tadah!
My Kids, age 5 and 3, love going in the back, backrest had to go though otherwise the Porsche childseats would not fit.

My GT2 is now streetlegal with 3 passengers after registration with the seatbelts in the back
