Hi all,
Just notifying anyone who lives in Canada trying to install a top tether floor anchor bolt in their 99 rav 4, that it is possible. go to your Toyota dealership and they will install a bolt with a steel plate on the bottom of your vehicle. I paid roughly $70 for this.
(it might help to sticky this on some of the forums since I researched a long time with no definitive result and most saying that it's impossible to do)
I'm posting this to say it's not impossible and you don't have to go out and buy a new vehicle!!
:)

I'm pretty sure it is Toyota corporate who says that 99 Rav's cannot be retro-fitted. Which usually means it is a structural issue or a crash testing issue.. ie: it's coming from the engineers.. from the top down so to speak.

A guy at the dealership saying its doable doesn't mean it is ok. Heck, I could drill into your cargo area and add a piece of reinforcement and say you're good to go, but it doesn't mean anything will hold on impact.

Unless of course the guy at the dealership discovered an approved part from Toyota, with appropriate install instructions?
