adding tether anchor

My MIL has an old subaru with no tether anchors. We found in the manual that they have them, and places for them -- at the time the vehicle was made they were apparently only required in Canada, so they weren't in her car. She called the Subaru dealer who had never heard of it,but she faxed him the pages in her manual, they located the part and ordered it. My question is .... I thought I had read on here before that there is ususally no charge for ordering the anchor or installing it? They are charging for both ... is that right or not? If so, she'll pay it, but I hate to see her charged if she shouldn't be. TIA

Subaru charges $15 for the parts. I did the labor myself in boyfriends car so I'm not sure what they charge for labor.

It depends on the manufacturer. When we got tether anchors added to our Subaru, we paid for the parts and installed the anchors ourselves.

Subaru doesn't have a free top tether anchor retrofit program, unfortunately. (It's mostly domestic/U.S. brand vehicle manufacturers that have a free program).
