2000 was year cars required to have top tethers, right? Does anyone know how many tethers are in a 2000 Dodge GC? I'm looking at one online at our local dealership, so of course can't see tethers in pics too well. Thanks!

For most cars built Sept. 1, 1999 or later for the 2000 model year, tether anchors were pretty much factory installed, but vans and SUVs were phased in a bit more gradually in some cases. The 2000 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan is one of those cases, and it's not factory equipped with tether anchors according to the LATCH manual. It can be retrofitted with tether anchors, and I'll type up the retrofit info. for you in a moment. Factory equipped tether anchors weren't included until the 2001 model year Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan, and the 2001 Caravan/Grand Caravan model was a veritable bonanza with factory equipped tether anchors in every rear seating position if you happen to find one of those for sale. Dodge/Chrysler cut back to 3 factory equipped tether anchors total (2 in the second row and 1 in the third row) after the 2001 model year. :eek:

Okay, back to the 2000 Caravan/Grand Caravan retrofitting details for you. :) The 2000 model Caravan/Grand Caravan can be retrofitted with tether anchors for each rear seating position. The retrofit is supposed to be free of charge at a Dodge/Chrysler dealership service department. You'll need to refer the dealership to Chrysler Technical Service Bulletin 23-029-08 for details, and the dealer can also find additional information in the Warranty Information Center (WIC) in article #1339. The tether anchor part number for each second row seating position is 04864118AB, and the part number for each third row spot is 05018506AA.
